Bug#600660: linux-2.6: Please revert patch for USB54Gs wireless device
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-25
Severity: normal
Please revert the Debian patch: rndis_host-Poll-status-channel-before-control-
channel.patch
This was once necessary for the WUSB54GS wireless adapter to work on recent
kernels (>2.6.32). After the introduction of subsequent patches this one was
removed from the mainline kernel as it was causing other problems. It is still
present as a Debian patch for 2.6.32 -- after removing it, I see the issues
from bug #520468 that are still present get solved.
You can see here the upstream reversion of this patch:
