Pavel,
I decided to rewrite it to use tasklets instead.
Task queues are so 2.4! I don't use 2.4 kernels for anything but simple
testing. Still, it would be better to have the Agere driver in a good
shape so that we can use it as a working reference. Please submit your
changes to the driver developers (if you can find them :-/ ), they should
know better.
Tasklets are not necessarily better. In fact, the Orinoco driver is
likely to move towards work queues (2.6 term for task queues) to
accommodate USB support.
Does 2.4 support "work queues"?
What's the big difference between "task queues" and "work queues"?
