The driver in staging _IS_ the vendor driver with a leak in the procfs fixed and the code brought up to the latest kernels. It will work. There is no need to use the vendor driver and to redo those fixes. I am working on an rtl8187se driver that uses mac80211 and that will be suitable to be included in mainline kernels. I estimate that I am about 25% done. Larry
