At least this seems to be material for 3 or 4 patches
- adapt the rfkill stuff
- some documentation update
- add the new pci version of the 2800 (with that rt2x00soc lib
which might be another patch)
- and some fixes...
Not only that but this driver is not yet merged upstream, there should
be a good reason for that.
Ivo, what's the status on rt2800pci? Some users have been asking about it.
The status is that it is not functioning correctly, during boot it
will print out
tons of errors about the device not being ready, and afterward it cannot scan,
connect or do anything useful.
And I think those problems can be considered enough reasons for not merging
the driver upstream yet. ;)
Ivo
I would say so. :) Assuming there is a bit of truth in those claims of that
tarball working better than the current kernel code, we might take away all the
new driver bloat and see what remains (which might be the part Ivo has anyways
in wireless testing...)
