What do I need to download? There is a lot of stuff on the page you cite, and I see a link to the right, Download Raw Diff. Is that what I'm supposed to download?
What do you want me to test it on?
I have Hiro H50191 USB WLAN adapter, including .inf and .sys files.
I also have, on MSI MPOWER motherboard, Atheros AR9271 quasi-USB WLAN, and Realtek 8111E Ethernet, with MS-Windows drivers but no .INF and .SYS files on DVD that came with the motherboard.
Is there a way to convert MS-Windows drivers that come with no .inf and .sys files to ndis-compatible format? Or just test on the Hiro H50191?
Also, after applying the patch to the source tree, what if anything do I have to do to not be messed up for subsequent svn updates to source tree?
