On 14.09.07 I sent a message with a patch to this list.
I did not get any feedback.

Now I downloaded a current SVN snapshot. The CHANGES file
says
"- Support 2.6.23 kernels"

But this is apparently not the case:

My patch included the necessary changes. Why was it
ignored?

I accidentally delete your message (More than 99% of the
mail I get from 
the list server is spam, and that's after some fairly
aggressive 
filtering!)

Coding style differences, mainly -- Where possible, I keep
all kernel 
versioning differences in wlan_compat.h instead.  

So I tossed your patch in favor of making a different set of
changes 
with the same effect.  And in doing so, I missed the changes
to 
prism2_{pci|plx}.c

Sorry about the mess; things should work okay now.
