Hi All,

I'm helping Greg do a bit of cleanup in the staging tree, I noticed that
wlan-ng driver is maybe ready to be moved out of staging. Are there
any TODO tasks left to do beside checkpatch.pl clean-up?

Thanks,
Ksenija

I think the main part is still pending. using in-kernel wireless stack.

I happened to look through this code recently.  It's terrible.

For questions like this you should CC linux-wireless.

And uses wireless extensions, yuck. There's a lot of work to get it into
reasonable shape, fixing checkpatch warnings will not be enough.
