The current staging drivers (rt2860 w/ RT3090 support and rt2870 w/ RT3070 support) are the result of my work on getting staging drivers under control (+ trying some new strategies of dealing with ugly code) and weight ~75 KLOC _together_ (they share the wireless stack code). > the merged for those drivers after the asurance that it was only merged > to please the users so developers could focus on the rt2x00 version of > the driver. Could somebody please explain me (in the public or in the private) what is the reason behind whole affair about staging drivers because all the time I feel like I'm missing some important detail here. It would a lot more productive than all the things that I could hear about my agenda, my work or my intellectual abilities in the past. [ Like I said before I got only interested into them in April this year while doing casual staging cleanups and I'm not affiliated with any distribution vendor. ] Thanks. -- Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
