I'm happy to see rtl8192se in Linux 3.0-rc1. I noticed that it claims
PCI device ID 10ec:8192, which is already claimed by staging driver
rtl8192e. Is it intended to replace that driver, or are there two
different devices with that ID which they will distinguish in their
probe functions?
If is intended to replace rtl8192e, shouldn't it also claim these device
IDs?
/* Corega */
{ PCI_DEVICE(0x07aa, 0x0044) },
{ PCI_DEVICE(0x07aa, 0x0047) },
The RTL8192E is a different device than the RTL8192SE, thus rtl8192se will not
replace rtl8192e. The way to tell them apart is the PCIe revision id. At
present, I don't have a method to use that info to load the correct driver, but
I will be working on it. In addition, I need to acquire an RTL8192E.
No, rtl8192se should not claim those Corega devices.
