But is this module going to make it into the 3.3.0 final release?

I've been testing it on my laptop while travelling on trains and things
using recent git pulls. And it releaves so much frustration vs the
option module.
As in spotty signal areas it drops in and out seamlessly without having
to manually reconnect everytime the train passes through a deadspot. And
generally the connection is noticiably more stable in this use case :D

Anyway I'd like to try it on my home connection which is run off an atom
device in a radio blackspot from hell. Which results in stuff having to
be reconnected very often, even with huge external antenna attached. So
this is like a dream come true in frustration saving but it takes
12hours to build a kernel. And cross compilation is labour intensive
when you don't have the toolchain setup first. So am waiting for this to
hit a stable release before building it on that machine to save my sanity.

Thanks for the nice feedback.  

This was submitted far too late for it to be considered 3.3 material.
Not much to do about that.  Most of the developement happened after
3.3-rc1 anyway.  So I'm afraid you'll have to wait a couple months more
for the 3.4 release.

I understand that wasn't the message you wanted, but it does give us all
a chance to test it thoroughly on different types of hardware. And maybe
even prepare some userspace tools :-)

Which brings me to a couple of questions I have for you: What radio
hardware do you use (lsusb -v), and which userspace tools?

But we should maybe continue any userspace tool discussion here instead,
where it's a bit more on topic:
