Cooperating you say. rtl8187 -- before starting the work on rtl8187se I've pinged the maintainer to coordinate the effort and hear his opinion on how to progress.. I've never heard back. rt2x00 -- I know that people have datasheets for some chipsets but I've never heard "How can we help you" etc. thing. All I've ever heard was _lies_ about current state of affairs or that my work is in the way. > Your insults, jeers, and general bad attitude is unlikely to change > our mind about it... Well, when faced with real facts and technical arguments some people go into "you are a social problem" mode... nothing new here..
