I intend to track the d80211 stack, care for the forward porting and see also a number of things, which should be done for d80211. - 802.11a support - better d80211 integration (d80211_tx_status, led stuff) - cleanups Daniel your hardware crypto patches should certainly be included here. This will make the d80211 driver the development branch and the mainline driver the maintenance branch. As already stated I intend care for forwardportsi of the mainline fixes, but IMHO we should not care to much for backports and backport compatibility. -- Uli Kunitz
