Is this a port of the tarball driver to the in-kernel wireless stack, or starting over from scratch? As it's not really working, do you mind if I just dump the tarball driver into the staging tree for users to use now (hint, they already are, the distros are shipping that driver as a kernel module package), and then when this "real" driver is up and working properly, we can drop the staging version? thanks, greg k-h -- 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
