Subject: rtl8192* wifi driver

Hi kernel developers!
I have a USB wifi adapter from Reltek (0bda:8176).
I had 2.6.38 kernel and tried to install the driver provided by realtek - by 
their support I was suggested to use 8192cu. It did not compile due to 
discontinued support of explicit mutexes in newer kernels.
I changed it using instructions I've found on the internet, compiled and it 
worked well.
Now in the linux kernel 3.0.1 I have found rtl8192* drivers in the kernel source 
tree which I included in the install, but they did not work, though modules 
loaded without error.
Then I took my cranked realtek driver for 2.6.38 and this time I had to remove 
the #include <linux/smp_lock.h> to compile it and it works again.

The question is: can someone take care of importing this driver into the kernel 
tree and support it?
Let the name be something like 'rtl8192cu_usb' to distinguish from others.

Thanks in advance,
Roman.

P.S. Please reply to me, or CC me, cause I am not subscribed to the mailing list 
yet.
