Sorry for the large cross post, just seeing if someone is interested in working on a wireless driver. The task would be to try to get AR5523 USB driver up to speed with mac80211 from wireless-testing and giving it a shot to fix remaining issues? It seems to have compiled last for 2.6.23. If you're interested please remove all lists and only leave linux-wireless on the reply. Luis
