Can you reformat this in the way that the file
Documenatation/SubmittingPatches explains so that I can accept the
patch? As it is, I can't :(
thanks,

The staging driver rtl8712 lacks support for dongles based on sitecom
WLA2100.
The current driver doesn't contain the usb id for this device, this patch
add it.

We can only apply new patches to the latest kernel version, not older
ones, as we can't go back in time :)
If you want a patch like this backported to older kernels, please read
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt for how to do that.

Your patch was line-wrapped and the whitespace all messed up, and can't
be applied :(
Please make the patch against the linux-next tree and resend it so that
we have a chance to apply it.
