Hi Greg, > - rt* wireless drivers. Bart has done amazing work merging all > of these together into something much better than they > originally were. And even better, they still work! Great > job Bart! Work on the rt2x00 project has also progressed to a point where the drivers are getting much closer to being useful, so eventually all this work will have been in vain. > - vt66* wireless drivers. These VIA drivers are being actively > worked on to get into a much better shape. Nice job. And do they come with their own wireless stack too? > - otus. This is sitting here until a "real" wireless driver > will be merged through the wireless tree. Hopefully that > happens soon. ar9170 has been in for a while now, it's just not quite at feature parity yet -- however that also means otus will get no work whatsoever from any of the wireless folks. Draw your own conclusions. Personally, I would drop it and let the users figure out whether they can live with ar9170 or need to support work on it. > - agnx wireless driver. No one seems to care about it. If no > one steps up soon, it will be removed in .33. Never really worked and the reverse engineered (!) hardware specs are incomplete, with the main developer having given up. I think it's fair to say that this is a dead end. I suspect the hardware isn't even manufactured any more, at least I haven't recently seen it. > - at76_usb wireless driver. Again, no one working on it, it > will be dropped in .33. There's at76c...something...-usb now, with a situation similar to the ar9170/otus one. > - stlc45xx. Another wireless driver that no one seems to care > about. So sad. I guess no one will miss it when it goes away > in .33. p54spi has gotten probably 95% of the functionality of this, so it's only really useful for looking at the calibration data loading on the N800/N810 platform... johannes
