Given that the staging process doesn't include network stacks, I'd thought that the correct way to go would be to bring the discussion to netdev first. Please understand that I'm not gaming, I'm just following my best understanding of the documentation of how to submit code. I'm really in uncharted waters here since all my accepted patches are tiny. In addition, I intend to work on the feedback I get. I'm not planning to have the code upstream and run away. [ ]'s Michel Machado
