David, is the prism2_usb driver in the upstream kernel ? If not, this would be better done as an external kernel module RPM in Fedora Extras... Either way seems fine to me. How does one look inside the upstream kernel? But why leave it festering amongst the extras? It must be a popular device because it is well established and cheap. the problem with merging this into Fedora is that it uses wireless infrastructure (wlan-ng) that isnt currently present in the kernel, and merging it would effectively fork our wireless support from that as shipped in kernel.org kernels, which isn't going to happen. I'd suggest further discussion on getting this merged upstream happen on the wlan-ng mailing lists, and/or netdev.com |
