Hm, I thought this would be in better shape than it is.
Right now we have 107 .c and .h files in drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/ that
come to a total of 44597 lines.
So we are taking double the size here?
I'm all for putting a "better" driver in here, but this feels odd to
me... Is there major new functionality here that is not in the existing
driver to justify this?
Ok, let's see how this goes, I'll give it a few weeks to see how much
can easily be fixed up to hopefully get back to at least close the
existing driver size...
The major new functionality is that the new one uses cfg80211, whereas the old
one uses the WEXT calls.
It really is an improvement. It just needs a severe cleanup.
I warned you that this code was rough. It took me several weeks to get the old
one "ready" for staging. I never devoted that effort to the new one, and you
wanted it in a place where multiple authors could improve it.
