The driver in staging-next is very similar to the driver in v3.14-rc3 but with some additional patches applied. Once you have one git tree then you don't need to clone again. You just to a "git fetch" and a "git checkout". The "git fetch" command will download a smaller chunk of data than cloning the whole repository every time. Anyway, if you want v3.14-rc3 then just do: git fetch --tags git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git git checkout v3.14-rc3 Don't forget to add the "v" in "v3.14-rc3". Type "git tag -l" to see which tags you can checkout. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
