At the time, I didn't think it was worth the significant effort to get prism2_usb into the mainline, but obviously some enterprising folks disagreed with me, and eventually put forth the elbow grease necessary to get it into -staging and all of the subsequent cleanups. From where I sit, the basic question is this: Is the prism2_usb driver now considered good enough to promote out of -staging? If not, what needs doing and who is willing to see it through? If it is, then just do it already. :) Oh, I'm still hosting the firmware files needed for this thing, and I see a consistent 4K or so downloads a month. So there are obviously users out there still. - Solomon -- Solomon Peachy pizza at shaftnet dot org Delray Beach, FL ^^ (email/xmpp) ^^ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
