Hi all,

I've merged the 2.6.x source branch into the main trunk of the cvs.
The future cvs snapshots should support 2.4.x and 2.6.0 with the same
source files now. Only difference: with 2.6.0 you must be root even during
compiling the sources.

These combinations worked fine here with 2.4.23 and 2.6.0, both with
UHCI host controller (uhci and usb-uhci with 2.4.23) and EHCI hc:

- managed mode: Netgear MA101 (Intersil 3861) - Belkin AP, WEP104
- managed mode: SMC2662W (503+RFMD radio) - Belkin AP, WEP104
- ad-hoc mode: Netgear MA101 (prolonged scan times needed) - ELSA MC-11
  (Orinoco chipset)
- ad-hoc mode: SMC2662W - ELSA MC-11

A known bug with 2.4.23: unplugging the device during firmware download
crashes the system with a kernel oops.

I'm interested in your test results!

Question to other developers:

Has anyone got a nice replacement for the ugly procedure
update_usb_intf_descr in at76c503.c for 2.6.0??
