Hi,

I've just looked over the diff between current 2.6.12rc1 and upstream
"for_linus" branch of the orinoco drivers.  I found that the delta is
almost 100% due to monitor mode/scanning code that's found in the
upstream driver.  That's the last _important_ piece that has to get
merged to the mainline kernel.  It seems all the other trivial pieces
have been merged already.

David/Pavel: is it correct that the only bits left are monitor
mode/scanning, and that they cannot be separated?  Should that diff just
be posted as a patch to netdev?  Or are there other issues with the
"for_linus" branch right now that prevent the final merge from
occurring?
Hi, Dan!

The remaining differences are only in orinoco.c and orinoco.h.  However,
it's more than just monitor mode and scanning.  The driver in 2.6.12-rc1
is basically version 0.14alpha2, and there have been more changes since
then.  For example, support for joining a specific access point.

David submitted previous changes.  I can submit the rest if David hasn't
done it.  David?
