Hi John,
What happened with the z1211 driver in wireless-2.6?
It's not there anymore. There's only the old zd1211rw
and zd1211rw-mac80211 stuff. Did you rename it again?

We aren't going to rename the driver, we're going to directly port
drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw to mac80211 when we're ready. John has put
it back as zd1211rw-mac80211 for now to allow development to continue.
Don't use the zd1211rw-mac80211 branch though (it won't compile),
develop against 'everything' as usual.
Thanks,
Daniel

When is that port going to happen then?
I mean, the drop of z1211 is a huge regression for me, as I am
using it in production environment.

Well, softmac is crap and has several race conditions that mac8021
does not have. That's the actual problem. ;)

We're aiming for 2.6.25. Right now zd1211rw-mac80211 does not really
provide any big user advantages over zd1211rw so you should be able to
use the existing driver until then.
