Until we figure out a way to keep having the whole rtl wifi driver as a
duplicate of the previous driver before we cleaned it up, I don't know

Larry, I know you keep talking to these developers, any chance anything
is ever going to get better? Anyone I can talk to? Even in person, I
go to Taiwan fairly often...
