As this driver is in staging, the patches need to be sent to Greg Kroah-Hartman , not through linux-wireless. One other point - for those patches that are properly sent through wireless, John Linville should be the one to receive those. He is the maintainer for that section, just as GregKH is the maintainer for staging. Larry
