Comment 164 for bug 246141

Interesting. Note the staging directory though. I think that this is a preliminary step before full support is available.

I'm curious to see how the linux kernel will merge the rtl8187se's ieee80211 stack with the existing kernel's stack.

I attempted such a merge once, but found that the rtl8187se's code relied on non-standard ieee80211 code (hence the alternative stack) and I was really uninterested in rewriting the entire driver to make it work. :T
