Hi John,

I am using that branch on mine Positivo Mobo White (MSI Wind OEM). It
loads the rtl8180 module, the wlan0 device appears but nothing more
happens. No scans, no associations, etc.

I'm really lost looking the code, and vendor code is very very different
of kernel code (at least to my eyes), isn't an easy job to "look vendor
code -> adapt code to kernel". What can I do to help? Any special
test case? Any log? Any tip to do the un-easy job?

Thanks!
