Re: Please pull 'rt2x00' branch of wireless-2.6
Hi, This patch adds the rt2x00 drivers for Ralink wireless hardware. This collection of drivers has seen lots of action in Fedora (both F7 and rawhide) and many people are using them with good results (although some problems do remain). Ivo in particular has been very helpful in responding to bug reports for these drivers, including bugs reported at kernel.org and in distro bugzillas. I extend my thanks to him for both his past and future support of these drivers. I'm sure he and the rest of the rt2x00 team will continue to support the community and their userbase. Ivo and his team may feel I am jumping the gun a bit -- they have a few more random bugs they wanted to squash before going upstream. But since they are bugs, any fixes should still be able to be applied in the -rc phase of 2.6.24. In the meantime, I definitely think it would be better to get this code into mainline rather than keeping it out of stream. With 2.6.23 not yet released, I assume we still have a few months to get rt2x00 shaped up to be really ready for 2.6.24? Because I am indeed not really happy with this early merge, but I'll do my best to resolve the last outstanding bugs as soon as possible.

Relax :-) :) A merge upstream doesn't mean bug free, it means significantly better than no driver at all and that is undoubtedly the case here. Well I am happy rt2x00 is being considered good enough for upstream already, but I have the habbit of wanting things bug-free before pushing it further upstream. Well most users are happy with current rt2x00 version anyway, so the remaining issues probably aren't that big anyway. (Except for the 2 panics, which should be resolved soon anyway) ;) Ivo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

So everything is fine, even if it's buggy and doesn't work at all. ;) -- Greetings Michael. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I was just surprised to see the pull request floating by, but you were right, there should be enough time to resolve the remaining issues and it is actually a good thing to start moving rt2x00 further upstream.
