Applying a Patch

  1. download the patch - it doesn't matter where you save it
  2. go to your atmelwlandriver directory. This is the directory that contains the code you checked out from cvs.
  3. run: patch -p0 < /path/to/patch.diff
Its pretty smart - you will know if you have done something wrong, and it will tell you if you're trying to apply a patch that has already been applied.

iwconfig stats patch
Matthew Nichols found a bug which was causing the iwconfig stats to be what looked like random numbers. He also provided the fix for it, which is the basis of this patch.

Symbol Error Patch
When you load the driver or do a depmod -a you get symbol error messages. This patch for the Makefile fixes this problem for me. I haven't yet heard if it has worked for anyone else.
