Re: [PATCH 0/4] Driver for the ar5523 chipset

Hi,

But what is keeping this driver from going to the "proper" place in the
kernel tree (i.e. drivers/net/...)?  I don't have a problem adding it to
the staging tree, but it would need a TODO file to list what is needed
to get it out of the staging tree.

I couldn't decide myself so I asked John and he suggested staging. Perhaps it should be in driver/net/wireless after all. Can you and John give some advice?

Here's a list of things to consider:

* The FW API is reverse engineered and no real documentation is available.
* Limited functionality (notably no HW crypto offload).
* I'm committed to maintaining the driver and fix problems, but only as a hobbist. * It has received very limited testing. S L-H is the only one except myself that has run it.

Cheers,

Pontus
