[Prism54-devel] [NEWS] Prism54 1.2 work and new developers

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

There's a new post about news on our front page. For this list I'll be
more conservative and only paste relevant bits of info:

---
The prism54 driver is now part of the kernel.org stock kernel tree.
Expect to see it in 2.6.5 Stable release. This inclusion forced us to
tag all our current work with a new version release and remove a lot of
2.4 dependencies. So, prism54 1.1 was created and that is what you'll
see so far in the next kernel release. See the prism54 1.1 ChangeLog.
All work previous to that is part of the prism54 1.0.2.2 release. See
its huge ChangeLog. All current cvs work is part of our future prism54
1.2 release. Expect to see in it WPA, iwpsy (in fact just added by
ajfa), WDS and perhaps if we get to it, a USB driver. For now if you
want 2.4 support, use the 1.0.2.2 driver. We're working on backporting
the prism54 1.1 driver to 2.4 or at least making them transparently the
same with a compatibilty header. 

Our Development team has grown. We welcome Denis Vlasenko, Feyd, and
Margit Schubert-While into our team. Margit has contributed tremendously
in assisting the project integrate the driver into the 2.6 tree. Denis
and Feyd have both been working hard on nasty bugs and have contributed
many fixes.

What's the status of the firmware and its license? We're working on it
with Conexant at the moment. They've sumbitted a license offer and we've
replied back with our needs. We're waiting for them to get back to us
now. This should hopefully be resolved soon.

That said, let's knock off Prism54 1.2 now ;)
