Hi Kalle, > We have been thinking about how to get ath6kl out from staging and get > it to a first class citizen under drivers/net/wireless.

It seems to be more softmac than fullmac anyway. Or am I mistaken here? The source code of the current staging driver is 5 MB in size. That is by far the largest staging driver. Even brcm80211 is smaller.
