Why?  What does this mean to me?  To users?  You need to sell this new
feature to me a LOT before I will take it as I really want and need to
see this driver fixed up first before you can add new features to it.

thanks,

greg k-h

=================

Greg:

I agree; I will work on getting the current core driver out of staging prior to making the kernel crypto changes.

What are the major issues with the core driver? I know about the current items in the TODO list having to do with the unused ioctl calls and structures.

What other issues are there?

Thanks

Mark Allyn
