Hello,

As you probably know, in the current Linux kernel there is a staging
driver for the RTL8187SE device (based on my older RTL8180/RTL8185
Linux driver), while there also a regular (not staging) driver
supporting older RTL8185 and RTL8180 devices
(net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8180) .

As far as I can see, the RTL8187SE device seems not so much different
from an RTL8185 device.
I would like to try (in my spare time) to add support for RTL8187SE
device in the current RTL818x driver, in order to avoid code
duplication, remove a driver from staging, and make RTL8187SE using
mac80211.

Do any one of you have any comment/objection/suggestions about this ?

Is it possible to get the RTL8187SE documentation to make things easier?

For now I will probably keep different RF code for the two cards even
if the RTL8225 (zebra 2) radio is used by both RTL8187SE and some
RTL8185 devices, however if I could get enough documentation about it,
it would be great to try to merge also RF code..

Thank you,
Andrea
