Comment 1 Alan 2009-03-20 04:26:00 UTC 
Already in drivers/staging (this is where new drivers go when they are ready to go into the kernel but not yet cleaned up to kernel coding standards). If you enable the staging drivers when building a kernel you can build this one too.

Please however submit the additional sitecom change patch to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org with a signed-off-by: line as per Documentation/SubmittingPatches

Thanks

I cannot find this patch on the linux-kernel list.

As Alan said, please submit it via email, not via bugzilla!

Please also cc

linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org and
