Yes, the cleaned up version of ath6kl is now in wireless-next and the staging version can be removed in 3.2. Greg, how do you want to handle removal of the staging version? Should I send a patch to you removing it? Or should I send the patch to John?Just tell me. Should I really delete drivers/staging/ath6kl/ for the 3.2 kernel release? If so, I'll gladly do so in my tree so linux-next will be fine for issues like this in the future.Yes, please delete ath6kl from staging for the 3.2 release as the cleanup version is now in wireless-next. Thank you everyone and sorry for the mess.I think that the removal should be done in the wirelesss tree so that Linus' tree is not broken during the next merge window. I have added the removal patch as a merge fixup one the merge of the wireless tree for today.
Makes sense to me -- probably also is more sane if there is some fool out there relying on the ath6kl driver in staging that doesn't know about the switch to the wireless tree. John -- John W. Linville Someday the world will need a hero, and you linville@tuxdriver.com might be all we have. Be ready.
