Re: [PATCH] ipwireless_cs driver for 4G PC Card

Hi,

I'm submitting driver for IPWireless PC Card, used for 4G
internet connection.
The driver has been in -mm series as ipwireless_cs.git tree for
some time, is actively used and there are currently no
outstanding bugs.

I'd like to let the driver pass through LKML and then let it
queue for 2.6.25.

Driver is released under GPL, original authorship belongs to
Symmetric co. Jiri Kosina has fixed some bugs and made it work
with recent kernels, and I work on improving the code to
match linux kernel standards.

When merged, please drop ipwireless_cs.git tree from -mm and
include the patch instead. Patches should be sent to me and I'll
push them to mainline via Jeff Garzik's driver tree, if there's
no objection.

Driver lives in drivers/char/pcmcia directory, it's a serial
driver. I'm not sure if this is the right place, since it's a
networking driver too and therefore should be in
drivers/net/pcmcia.

There will be a wiki with info for users and developers, todo etc.

If the -main- purpose of the hardware is wireless, it should go in via John Linville, wireless maintainer...
