Hi,
In looking for drivers to add to drivers/staging/ I ran across the atl2
driver that is currently in the Fedora and Ubuntu kernel trees.
This driver doesn't look to be scheduled for inclusion in the upstream
netdev git tree for submission for 2.6.28, is there any reason why it is
still out-of-the-tree?
And, if it's not going into 2.6.28, any objection for me adding it to
the drivers/staging/ tree? If so, I need a list of reasons why it is
not merged upstream properly so far so that people know what to work on
in order to get it there.
thanks,
greg k-h

Ok, in looking at the code, I see a list of things that probably need to
be fixed up properly, but it would be nice to see what others think the
reasons are :)

Hi Greg,
It's in net-next-2.6.

Nice, so that means it's going to be in 2.6.28?

I think so. As I understand it, net-next-2.6 is Dave Miller's git tree
for stuff destined for 2.6.28.

Yep, here it is: Dave's description of his two main trees.
So atl2 will be in 2.6.28.

Subject: New GIT net tree naming...
Based upon feedback from Andrew and others I'm now starting
to use a new naming scheme for my GIT trees:
For changes against Linus's current tree:
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.git
For development meant to be merged in the next merge
window we have:
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git
Andrew/Stephen, let me know if this works for you. This way
the tree names will never change.

Ah, sorry for the noise, I should have remembered this. Thanks for
pointing it out.
