Hi,
I tried to compile the mainline kernel on a Rasperry PI 32-Bit OS.
Here the commands for preparation:

Hi,
compiled the latest staging kernel on my xubuntu laptop. It starts fine
but I cannot start my firefox anymore. This happens only with kernel
6.8-rcx. With kernel 6.7 no issue at all. Find logs below. Found in some
forum that it is fixed in some later rc on an other tree. Tried to find
Hi,
after cutting away a lot of dead code from the rtl8192e I would like to
understand the way forward to migrate the driver from wireless extension

drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8192* ?

Hi,
I am trying to improve the driver drivers/staging/rtl8192e/
In the TODO I can find:
* Remove the HAL layer and migrate its functionality into the relevant
parts of the driver.
Does this mean to merge the modules rtllib with r8192e_pci to one module?
Thanks for your support.
