Hello,
As you probably know, in the current Linux kernel there is a staging driver for the RTL8187SE device (based on my older RTL8180/RTL8185 Linux driver), while there also a regular (not staging) driver supporting older RTL8185 and RTL8180 devices (net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8180) .
As far as I can see, the RTL8187SE device seems not so much different from an RTL8185 device. I would like to try (in my spare time) to add support for RTL8187SE device in the current RTL818x driver, in order to avoid code duplication, remove a driver from staging, and make RTL8187SE using mac80211.
Do any one of you have any comment/objection/suggestions about this ?
Is it possible to get the RTL8187SE documentation to make things easier?
For now I will probably keep different RF code for the two cards even if the RTL8225 (zebra 2) radio is used by both RTL8187SE and some RTL8185 devices, however if I could get enough documentation about it, it would be great to try to merge also RF code..
Thank you, Andrea
