This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled staging: refresh TODO for rtl8712 to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. From 586add48d4a627424ff996277fc47e4ee8c69126 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xose Vazquez Perez <xose.vazquez@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2016 15:50:07 +0100 Subject: staging: refresh TODO for rtl8712 People should not waste time and energy working on this staging driver. At least four drivers were written for this hardware: https://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=138358275410975 And there is a replacement using the kernel wireless stack at: https://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su Also a fullmac/cfg80211 driver(r92su) is available.
