Open source is about release early, release often. Not "hide code in a

Please. This has nothing to do with Christoph. (1) the driver seems to
break every Linux coding style convention known to man and (2) adds a
new ABI with bunch of ioctls() that apparently haven't been reviewed
properly. That's just not acceptable for mainline kernel!
I completely agree, these things should be corrected and if the the
author is being totally unresponsive to Christoph's review that's even
worse.
Um, the maintainer replied yesterday morning[1] that libertas-2.6.git
has already been updated for these requests, will be updated some more,
and overall was responsive to the entire list of Christoph requests.
I'm mainly concerned with removing the unnecessary ioctls before 2.6.22
release, since that affects userspace. The vast majority of other stuff
is cosmetic, which is being worked on, but lower priority in my book.
