maybe the information we will need one day is:
will the core/-os_dep/-hal/-include/-directory-structure be
welcomed in mainline wireless subsystem, when an rtl* driver
will be perfectly tuned?
At the moment I can't see such a directory organization
in any of the realtek wireless driver.
Sure there's time for that ;),
Thank you,
