This is now fixed on the master branch, also the branch "for-upstream" does a lot of cleanup I thought you may like before stuffing it into staging like removing all KERNEL_VERSION checks, all wireless extensions checks, some compile warnings, removal of compat, dos2unix, use utf-8, etc. Unfortunately this still requires a specific version of wpa_supplicant but it seems it works. Not sure what bars you have for staging at this point. Will you take this in, and expect patches for fixing it to use standard wext and also report standard wireless statistic (yeap, this is not there yet either). Joey is one user which reported the driver working now with the compile fixes for newer kernels for 2.6.28-rc2 using the specific version of wpa_supplicant for it. Joey can you test the for-upstream branch on otus git?
