Description Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-02-16 22:00:36 UTC
Version 0.6.7 has been in the tree for a little over a month without any bugreports, so I think it's safe to keyword it stable.

This would allow me to finally get rid of the old 0.5.x version, since 0.6.x is the stable branch now.
Comment 1 Markus Meier gentoo-dev 2009-02-25 21:50:14 UTC
amd64/x86 stable
Comment 2 Gustavo Zacarias 2009-02-26 12:04:02 UTC
This version breaks madwifi-ng in master mode and ath5k isn't able to do master mode yet. 0.6.8 is broken too.
On startup they spit a couple "ioctl[IEEE80211_IOCTL_SETMLME]: Invalid argument" errors and even though it starts it doesn't work as expected, be it with a new config based on the template or the previous config i used with 0.5.10.
Also why stabilize an upstream development branch?
Comment 3 Gustavo Zacarias 2009-02-26 12:15:01 UTC
To elaborate on that, 0.6.x starting from 0.6.8 is considered stable, but 0.6.7 isn't and there were changes between both.
Comment 4 Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-02-26 12:44:47 UTC
Please report another bug about your issue (assign it to me), and please include the output of emerge --info and what version of madwifi-ng, linux-headers and kernel you are using.

As for marking 0.6.7 stable, I see your point.

I'll close this bug, and ~arch it again, since I mixed 0.6.7 and 0.6.8 regarding being stable.

Bug #260377, seems i can't reassign even being an ex-dev.
