I am interested to learn wireless stack .I have already read wireless wiki documentation , sort of rtl8712 code , cfg80112 APIs . Yeah I agree with you Greg and Larry that its _very_ difficult to thing to convert driver in kernel and also rtl8712 has more files compare to others. Anyway however difficult or tough it may be but I have to go through it once to become highly skilled or good engineer . I would give it a try even if I will fail I believe at least 1% of my knowledge will be improved . More suggestions are welcome. I have did git remote add gregkh http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git git pull gregkh git rebase my_local_branch I have got some conflicts .I can solve them but they are too many . I am trying to solve it . After that I will soon resend this patch.
