Subject: Linux device driver for USB WIFI needs integrating

There is a Linux driver here
hxxp://http://www.asus.com/Networking/USBN10_NANO/HelpDesk_download/ that needs
integrating into the 'kernel.org' source. Please can you pass this to
whoever should do this.

Do we need formal permission from ASUS, or do we just take it ?

Please cc: me on any replies as I am not subscribed to the LKML.

Thanks !

With an out-of-tree driver you are on your own, sorry.

Did you enable the in-tree driver (CONFIG_RTL8192CU)?
(That driver supports the chip used by the ASUS device AFAICT)

What is the USB Id of the ASUS device (as shown by 'lsusb')?
