A lot of work is going to go into ath6kl soon. To help avoid conflicts with it is of critical importance to coordinate and communicate. The Linux kernel policy on staging drivers is that they will be removed from the Linux kernel if they do not get any cleanup attention. We are addressing that now but the cleanups will cause conflicts with any other wide spread change. Joe has some large amount of cleanup patches he has written with some scripts and will soon send them out. To help avoid conflicts the hope is we will limit the cleanups we do to a few set of patches at a time. All these changes will be as atomic and small as possible. Our goal is to eventually move ath6kl out to proper placement in the kernel, but this will take some time. Note that if you are doing development on a side branch it is incorrect, you should post your patches targetted upstream *first*. To hack on ath6kl you will need to: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6.git git checkout -b ath6kl-dev origin/staging-next To track our TODO we will use the wiki: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath6kl To coordinate development we will talk on IRC: Channel: #ath6kl Server: irc.freenode.net Anyone looking to coordinate development or get patches into ath6kl in any way shape or form is recommended to use IRC to coordinate with myself, Naveen and Joe. Vipin is off on vacation for a while now. Joe -- I know you have a large series pending, but perhaps we can coordinate to only send batches in 20 ? Or Greg do you have any preference? Naveen, please work with me on your patches. I'd like to see Joe's patches merged first. I take it Jack Yang's patches are identical to the ones you are going to work on?
