I'm happy to send > you patches against wireless-drivers-next.git though. To keep things simple for me I want that the patches are based on wireless-drivers-next.git. iwlwifi is under so active development that an extra tree is justified, but having a dedicated tree for a not so active driver is just extra work for me which I do not want to have. With rtlwifi it goes so that Larry acks the patches on the list and patchwork automatically adds the ack to the commit log when I apply the patch, which is easy and fast for everyone. The same should go with rtl8723au. -- Kalle Valo
