Description of kernel patches: generic/ Generic patches for vanilla Linux kernel 000-linux_mips.patch This is the diff between vanilla linux-2.4.32 and linux-mips.org kernel (CVS tag 2_4_32-rc1 used). The kernel source from linux-mips.org CVS repository has newer drivers and code then vanilla linux-2.4.32 especially for the mips architecture. 001-squashfs.patch Support for the squashfs filesystem. It has better compression ratio then cramfs. 002-squashfs_lzma.patch LZMA Addon patch from Oleg I. Vdovikin for the squashfs filesystem. Even better compression ratio. 003-jffs2_compression.patch Compression for jffs2 filesystem. 004-exec_pagesize.patch 005-mtd_flashtypes.patch Additional mtd drivers for flash chips 100-ebtables.patch Filtering packets on ethernet layer. See http://ebtables.sf.net 101-netfilter_ipp2p.patch Netfilter ipp2p match module (matches traffic of most P2P networks) 102-netfilter_layer7.patch 103-netfilter_nat_pptp.patch NAT support for PPTP and GRE 104-netfilter_maxconn.patch 105-netfilter_TTL.patch Netfilter target for manipulating the TTL of IP packets 106-mppe_mppc.patch Microsoft PPP Encryption/Compression 107-cifs.patch CIFS (Common Internet File System) module. 108-optional_aout_support.patch 109-ipsec_nat_traversal.patch Openswan patch for allowing IPSec through NAT 110-netdev_random_core.patch Support for gathering entropy from network devices for /dev/random 200-i4l.patch 201-hfc_usb_backport.patch 202-pl2303_backport.patch 203-hfsplus_fix.patch 204-net_b44.patch Support for the BCM47xx chipset in the b44 driver 206-gcc_3.4_fixes.patch mips specific gcc 3.4 fixes 207-gcc_4.0_fixes.patch gcc 4.0 fixes brcm/ Broadcom specific patches 001-bcm47xx.patch This is the broadcom specific code from asus (1941) GPL source tarball. There are many small patches included, so it works with linux 2.4.32 kernel. The original code is based on Linux 2.4.20. 002-wl_fix.patch The driver for the wireless lan chip on brcm47xx based routers is binary only. This means it depends on older data structures in the kernel. We backported some of the changes or changed some of the data structures to work with the binary modul. This is a really bad hack, but without source code, there is no better chance to get the driver working with newer kernels. 003-bcm47xx_cache_fixes.patch ar7/ TI AR7 specific patches 000-ar7_support.patch 001-flash_map.patch
