Sorry, I don't understand what this comment means?

Thanks for taking a look. If the ks7010 driver has 802.11 stack in
firmware does that mean it is not compatible with using the kernel
mac80211 stack with the current firmware? I do not have my hopes up
about getting any chip information out of Renesas, all I think we have
to go in is the current WEXT driver.

This is an exercise in learning for me, but I do not want to take any
ones time up with a project that is not that useful. Is getting the
ks7010 driver out of staging something that is of use to the kernel
community or are there other wi-fi tasks that our time is better spent
on?

thanks,
Tobin.
