Not only that but this driver is not yet merged upstream, there should
be a good reason for that.
Ivo, what's the status on rt2800pci? Some users have been asking about it.

Some users have been asking about it. The status is that it is not functioning correctly, during boot it will print out tons of errors about the device not being ready, and afterward it cannot scan, connect or do anything useful. And I think those problems can be considered enough reasons for not merging the driver upstream yet. ;) Ivo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Well any patches in rt2x00.git which I have not send to linux-wireless yet should _not_ be merged to anywhere since they are often incomplete, incorrect or plain broken.

Thanks Ivo -- that is what I suspected. Please do not merge wireless shit into karmic unless upstream. If its really shit then please push to staging.
