Do they now have workable drivers > to replace them in the tree today? If so, _please_ let me know. I have received a report that at76_usb has worked better than at76c50x-usb. Also p54spi implementation is quite new and not that much tested. If it's ok for you, I would like to have both at76_usb and stlc45xx in the staging area for some time still. I will let you know when they can be removed. -- Kalle Valo
