Hi Julian,
Well, We consider the option of using the entire compat-wireless drivers. However, we are planning the minor update of our product toward the end of the year and I thought it will be nice if I can keep the change minimum.
In general, the drivers in compat-wireless are more stable and have
more features than the versions in older kernels. (it is a back-port
of newer wireless drivers after all)
I would expect that you'll spend more time working out a solution to
use it for a single driver than you'd spend testing it on the hardware
you intend to support.
I agree. If you want to change only rtl8723ae, then you will need to backport it
to kernel 3.4.9 yourself. I have no idea how much work that would be, but I have
no interest in doing it.
