Creates RAM based block devices (/dev/ramzswapX) which can be
used (only) as swap disks. Pages swapped to these are compressed
and stored in memory itself.
The module is called ramzswap.ko. It depends on:
- xvmalloc memory allocator (compiled with this driver)
- lzo_compress.ko
- lzo_decompress.ko
See ramzswap.txt for usage details.

The author has found a number of problems with the current version
of this driver in the current kernel, and is reworking it to get
things working again. Because of that, it would be better to remove
the driver now and add it back in a future kernel release.

This driver no longer requires to have the firmware compiled in
it with the CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE configuration option.
Furthermore, we now have the right to distribute the firmware

This is the Linux kernel driver for the Security Processor, which is

The patch is of the "works as far as it goes" variety, in that the

This is the vendor driver for the Ralink RT3090 chipset.
It should be later cleaned and ported to use the existing rt2x00
infrastructure or just replaced by the proper version.
[ Unfortunately since it follows the same design/implementation like
rt{286,287,307}0 drivers (already present in the staging tree)
it is highly unlikely that it will see much love from the wireless
development community.. ]
However since the development of the cleaner/proper version can take
significant time lets give distros (i.e. openSUSE seems to already
have the package with the original vendor driver) and users "something"
to use in the meantime.
I forward ported it to 2.6.31-rc1, ported to the Linux build system
and did some initial cleanups. More fixes/cleanups to come later
(it seems that the driver can be made to share most of its code with
the other Ralink drivers already present in the staging tree).

This is the Ralink RT3070 driver from the company that does horrible
things like reading a config file from /etc. However, the driver that
is currently under development from the wireless development community
is not working at all yet, so distros and users are using this version
instead (quite common hardware on a lot of netbook machines).
So here is this driver, for now, until the wireless developers get a
"clean" version into the main tree, or until this version is cleaned up
sufficiently to move out of the staging tree.
Ported to the Linux build system, fixed lots of build issues, forward
ported to the current kernel version, and other minor cleanups were all
done by me.

The Intel Management Engine Interface (aka HECI: Host Embedded
Controller Interface ) enables communication between the host OS and
the Management Engine firmware. MEI is bi-directional, and either the
host or Intel AMT firmware can initiate transactions.
The core hardware architecture of Intel Active Management Technology
(Intel AMT) is resident in firmware. The micro-controller within the
chipset's graphics and memory controller (GMCH) hub houses the
Management Engine (ME) firmware, which implements various services
on behalf of management applications.
Some of the ME subsystems that can be access via MEI driver:
- Intel(R) Quiet System Technology (QST) is implemented as a firmware
subsystem that runs in the ME. Programs that wish to expose the
health monitoring and fan speed control capabilities of Intel(R) QST
will need to use the MEI driver to communicate with the ME sub-system.
- ASF is the "Alert Standard Format" which is an DMTF manageability
standard. It is implemented in the PC's hardware and firmware, and is
managed from a remote console.
Most recent Intel desktop chipsets have one or more of the above ME
services. The MEI driver will make it possible to support the above
features on Linux and provides applications access to the ME and it's
features.
