This has somewhat made me loose > trust in the process. It is somewhat on you to coordinate with others working on the same driver. As is often said, Maintainers are overloaded, and push whatever they can onto developers. It should not need a Maintainer to get developers to coordinate, they should be able to do that on there own. Since you are subscribed to the netdev list, you can see the patches flying by, you know who else is working on this driver. Please go talk to them. Andrew
