Hi All,

Just curious if anyone knows if there has been any effort to get this driver merged into the upstream kernel? The reason I ask is because it is a lot of extra effort for the kernel team to maintain out of tree patches/drivers. As such, they typically require upstream submission first before agreeing to maintain patches locally.

Also note that we'll keep this report open against the actively developed kernel but against 2.6.20 this will be closed as it does not qualify for a Stable Release Update - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . Thanks.
