For example, for the libertas WLAN driver we have an extra mailing list where people (mostly) post patches for review. Eventually, Dan Williams put them into his tree and then asks Linville to pull from him. But the patches in his GIT tree won't be sent to linux-wireless for individual review. Now, isn't doing the iwlwifi project the same? There is a mailinglist for this project (https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ipw3945-devel) where anybody is free to join. A cursory glance (I'm not in this mailing list) at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=ipw3945-devel shows that people indeed post patches there for review. So, if you ask them to post each and every patch on linux-wireless, then other projects should do the same. Some projects (e.g. bcm43xx) mostly do cross-post. Is this the way people should go? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
