Like I said, I will submit the mac80211 port with a new name (most probably at76c50x-usb) as soon as I get it stable enough. It's good idea to have a working driver in staging tree until the mac80211 has been verified to be working. > Since you mentioned a) that you are working on the port again and b) > you are going to rename the driver for mac80211, should I just drop > my at76 branch of wireless testing for good? Please do, because I will submit at7650x-usb patches from scratch. But don't remove at76 branch from the legacy tree, it's useful for me: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-legacy.git;a=shortlog;h=at76 Kalle -- 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
