There are plenty of other conflicts and this is not a bug.
Like I said earlier in rtl8xxxu review, I don't want to have two drivers supporting the same device. So either rtl8xxxu or rtlwifi supports the devices above, not both. And to my knowledge rtl8xxxu is still lacking in features, and it's a new driver, so it's best that rtlwifi continues to support these for the time being. Once rtl8xxxu catches up and we have a clear consensus we can make the switch. I'll send a patch in a jiffy, merge window is getting closer so we don't have any extra time. -- Kalle Valo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
