On 14.09.07 I sent a message with a patch to this list.
I did not get any feedback.

Now I downloaded a current SVN snapshot. The CHANGES file says
"- Support 2.6.23 kernels"

But this is apparently not the case:

[M] /usr/local/src/linvdr-kernel-2.6.23.1/wlan/linux-wlan-ng-dev/src/prism2/driver/prism2_pci.o
/usr/local/src/linvdr-kernel-2.6.23.1/wlan/linux-wlan-ng-dev/src/prism2/driver/prism2_pci.c:

My patch included the necessary changes. Why was it ignored?

I accidentally delete your message (More than 99% of the mail I get from
the list server is spam, and that's after some fairly aggressive
filtering!)

Coding style differences, mainly -- Where possible, I keep all kernel
versioning differences in wlan_compat.h instead.

So I tossed your patch in favor of making a different set of changes
with the same effect. And in doing so, I missed the changes to
prism2_{pci|plx}.c

Sorry about the mess; things should work okay now.
