Hi, the size of your message was over the limit for the list. I manually approved it now and your patches should be available to the list.

As I understand, this chipset doesn't require firmware to be loaded as it's already preinstalled. I searched for dongles that have RT2500USB/RT2571 and I had a hard time finding any that I could buy in my country (Germany). Maybe there is a way to get one second-hand. It's also important not to confuse them with RT2571W (notice the "W" at the end) which use a different driver and require non-free firmware to be loaded. For these reasons, I wasn't yet able to test the patches. I basically can only test if they don't introduce any issues. Did it work fine with RepWifi?

Ok, regarding the big backport patch: did you just copy the driver code or did you do any additional modifications to make it work with the older kernel? > The patch set was tested on i9305 device.

I'm unsure if it's worth it to enable it now without testing for the other devices. At least, testing is needed to ensure that no bugs are introduced. Enabling it for other devices that use a different kernel, like maguro or the espresso tablets, should be easier as their kernels don't have the Wi-Fi code backported from 3.4.
