Is there a problem with using rt2x00 kernel modules with realtime kernels? In the info page it says that they need the symbol "BROKEN" which is probably to tell us that we can't use it. I can't compile it into kernels with an RT patch.
Why? What's wrong with this mix of module and tree? Is there any way to make them happily coexist?
Good question, but bugzilla isn't a good place to ask it.
Presumably there's some bustage in the rt2x00 driver which makes it not work with -rt kernels.
Did the -rt guys tell the wireless guys about this?

Honestly, I don't recall hearing about it. Ivo?

No, I can't recall any -rt specific issues either, and so far no regular open bug
is critical enough to make rt2x00 depend on CONFIG_BROKEN.

There was some build failure which got fixed in meantime, but I forgot to remove the broken flag.
Will do with the next release.
Thanks,
