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.Ok, I'll send a patch to John which removes the staging driver.Ok, that is fine with me as well.
Stephen&Greg: sorry, I accidentally sent you a 1.8 MB patch. I didn't look at the size of the patch at all until I started to wonder why I don't see it on linux-wireless. Man that driver was huge! John, please take the patch from master.kernel.org: /pub/linux/kernel/people/kvalo/ath6kl/staging-remove-ath6kl.patch It will be available via HTTP once the mirrors have synced up: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/kvalo/ath6kl/staging-remove-ath6kl.patch Kalle
