I'm afraid it will take a long time before we release it to kernel. You know that Realtek now has several series of card reader on the market, and we have to integrated these ICs into the new driver, and make sure it works well, in addition, now we're working on another new card reader IC. Once everything is done, the driver will be released. > How can we tell if it's better than the cleaned up staging driver without seeing it? Yes, quite right. Seeing is believing. Thanks & BRs Edwin
