Comment 77 for bug 215604

What is the current status of the upstream code for this? In particular,

Has it been submitted upstream to any subsystem for the kernel or the kernel itself?

Has it been submitted to GregKH's staging tree?

What has the response been from upstream?

This page http://gl860.sourceforge.net/ gives instructions for building it differently depending on
the device to be supported. This isn't an option for a driver which will be included in the kernel.
Is this documentation still accurate?

There is a strong preference to have this upstream before we include it in the Ubuntu kernel.

I chatted with Maco and she asked about having it built as a dkms module - that is something that
is available as an option for the developer - by definition drivers that are built and delivered using
dkms are not part of our kernel delivery.

Thanks
