Normally, you should not expect to get much help in this mailing list with a 
driver from staging. I assume that you have seen the warning that is placed in 
the dmesg output when you load a staging driver. You are fortunate in this case 
as I was the one that pushed this driver into staging.

A bisection would not do much good as there have been few changes to the driver 
since it was included.

Please describe your case more completely. List the output of iwconfig. I need 
this info as my device gets a ping packet loss of about 1%.
