I think this clears things up and that specific issue is no longer a
blocker for inclusion.

I'll let this sit on the list so that it may be reviewed on it's
technical merits.

That makes sense to me, removing it is correct.  It's now up to the
netdev developers to accept this, thanks for the quick response.

That description is about the patent for the hw design, not for software. It
indicates that the design of the hw uses those patents from the other compnay. I
have no idea about how to deal with those patents. What should I do for sending
a patch?

You removed the wording I had questions about last time, does that mean
the previous wording was not correct, or that you no longer are
publicising the fact that this driver reads on some patents that you
own?

You also failed to answer my previous questions, why?

That description is about the patent for the hw design, not for software. It
indicates that the design of the hw uses those patents from the other compnay. I
have no idea about how to deal with those patents. What should I do for sending
a patch?
