The mwlwifi have been > developed over past year or so for the Avastar AP chips, being incorrect, mwl8k also support Avastar AP (88W8764) one of the mwlwifi feedback was that the Kconfig description was inaccurate, and because of overlap with mwifiex, everyone did scratch their heads trying to describe what each driver actually supports. feel free to correct me on that, but from the outside it looks like there are multiple wifi teams at Marvell, each one working on its own firmware/driver set, sometimes for the same chipset as the other teams, and they don't talk to each other. so anyway I'm in no position to NAK your driver submission since I'm not a linux wireless maintainer, I just want them to be aware of what they are merging. -- Maxime
