[manjaro-dev] [3.12.4] some weird regression got introduced

[Rob McCathie]

Hi Greg,

Firstly, much thanks for the work you do maintaining the LTS kernels.
They're much appreciated on my systems where consistency is vital.

Here are links to tarballs of the modules Phil is talking about:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/362439/DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217.tgz

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz

However, many patches are applied to them before building (most or all are
required to build on newer kernels). These are the same pacthes that had
the modules building fine on 3.12.3.

Those patches and the Arch/Manjaro PKGBUILDs, of within you can see other
actions taken when building, can be found here:

Regards,
Rob McCathie
