This driver doesn't look to be scheduled for inclusion in the upstream netdev git tree for submission for 2.6.28, is there any reason why it is still out-of-the-tree? And, if it's not going into 2.6.28, any objection for me adding it to the drivers/staging/ tree? If so, I need a list of reasons why it is not merged upstream properly so far so that people know what to work on in order to get it there. thanks, greg k-h
