Hi Alan
Ath6kl is the 3.0 driver and it is still developing and used.
So I prefer to have another folder for this 3.1 driver.
User can choose 3.0/3.1 driver by menuconfig.
Due to the patch for 3.1 driver is large (9MB), I will send to you
to check first by another mail.
Thanks
Best regards,
Samuel

Ok. The right path is via staging via Greg KH <[email protected]>

If the 3.0 driver is in the tree then what you probably need to send is
a 3.0 to 3.1 driver patch or patches to bring the kernel version up to
the one you have now.

Can you make the patch available somewhere and I'll have a look and see
if I can offer more concrete advice.
