Thanks for the summary. Note, whenever a "real" wireless driver goes into the tree that obsoletes any of the staging drivers, please let me know and I'll instantly remove it. Right now the otus code is staying because the ar9170 developers want it to. But what about at76_usb? stlc45xx? Do they now have workable drivers to replace them in the tree today? If so, _please_ let me know. As for the other drivers, here's what I know: rtl8187se - a varient of rtl818x, someone just needs to do the work to add the proper parts to the existing driver. I tried, and it wasn't obvious how to do this :( wlan-ng - this is being cleaned up by community members for eventual inclusion in the main tree. It only supports a single type of USB device. winbond - community members are cleaning it up as well. > I hope rt2800pci/usb to be included *ASAP*, because rt2800usb supports > more than 1oo USB devices and rt2800pci is included in a lot of > laptops(ask Torvalds [1] [2]) > > [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121799144422863&w=2 > [2] http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123187052023831&w=2 That would be great to have in, what's keeping it from happening? 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
