Cooperating you say.

rtl8187 -- before starting the work on rtl8187se I've pinged the maintainer
to coordinate the effort and hear his opinion on how to progress..

I've never heard back.

rt2x00 -- I know that people have datasheets for some chipsets but I've
never heard "How can we help you" etc. thing.

All I've ever heard was _lies_ about current state of affairs or that
my work is in the way.
