Thanks a lot for info, I'll give it a try. BTW code in stagging has some recent cleanup. Out of curiosity: what is the reason that the development doesn't happen on mainline? I thought code in mainline was derived from the vendor code.
The cleanup on the staging driver is only cosmetic, like putting lipstick on the pig!
The vendor releases USB drivers that contain lots of conditional code as it is used to generate drivers for Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD. In addition, they use techniques that are improper for a driver in the kernel. I estimate that it would take at least 6 months to get the one at GitHub into a form that it could replace the current staging driver, and probably a year for it to make the regular net driver's tree. I have enough to do keeping up with kernel API changes, and I will never do the submission to the kernel step. It just is not worth it to me.
