Hello Greg and Larry, thanks for your responses.

I wasn't sure if a standalone (non-rtlwifi) driver is acceptable at all. > I will certainly be on the lookout for conflicts with the rtlwifi and > rtl8xxxu, indeed the whole drivers/net/wireless/realtek/, code as the > cleanup proceeds. At the moment, the driver (like the old one) can be compiled only as a module. I guess that's because of name conflicts between realtek drivers that originated from the same codebase. It seems that we'll have to rename some functions along the way. Thanks, Martin
