PATCH 1/1 staging: brcm80211: remove brcm80211 driver from the staging tree
Hi Greg,
John recommended to do the delete through your staging tree. Thanks for the ride. It has been a learning experience for all of us here. Apart from the significant cleanup (which needs ongoing work for sure) it took some time to find the right way of working in coordinating our changes with community patches.
The removal patch was just as big as the mainline patch so it has been uploaded to linuxwireless.org:
Regards,
Arend van Spriel

So I'm taking it that the driver is now in the wireless-next tree? That's great, I'll queue the patch up later today.
And thanks so much for working with us, I know it can be hard at times, but I hope you will agree that the end result is much better than what we started out with.

It is. From the day I sent the mainline patch for wireless-next we have been staring at our inbox for the green light :-D

Yep. We got rid of a lot of redundant code that was not needed in the mac80211 framework and the different level of abstractions. The are still i's to dot and features to add.
Thanks again.
