dev->priv to netdev_priv(dev), drivers/net/tokenring/
Replacing accesses to dev->priv to netdev_priv(dev). The replacment
is safe when netdev_priv is used to access a private structure that is
right next to the net_device structure in memory.
Cf http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.development.system/browse_thread/thread/de19321bcd94dbb8/0d74a4adcd6177bd
This is the case when the net_device structure was allocated with
a call to alloc_netdev or one of its derivative.
Here is an excerpt of the semantic patch that performs the transformation
@ rule2 depends on rule1 && !rule1bis @
struct net_device *dev;

@@
- (T*) dev->priv
+ netdev_priv(dev)
PS: I have performed the same transformation on the whole kernel
and it affects around 70 files, most of them in drivers/net/.
Should I split my patch for each subnet directories ? (wireless/, wan/, etc)
Thanks to Thomas Surrel for helping me refining my semantic patch.

Driver support for the monitor mode support that will be available in the next
OLPC 'bleeding edge' Marvell firmware release (most likely, 5.110.16.p2).
where mode is the hex mask that specifies which frames to sniff (in short, 0x1
for data, 0x2 for all management but beacons, 0x4 for beacons). Any non zero
mode will activate the monitor mode, inhibiting transmission in ethX and mshX
interfaces and routing all the incoming traffic to a new rtapX interface that
will output the packets in 802.11+radiotap headers format.

With this patch, scanning with mshX interface will only return mesh networks. To

Even though there can be at most a single mesh per channel, this scan might

If all nodes in a mesh network are associated to an AP, they won't produce
beacons/probe responses, thus the network will not be listed. This will be fixed
in future firmware releases.
Scan on ethX interface is not filtered, so it will list both mesh and non-mesh
