If the driver is in staging does that imply its routine > availability in F14? No. Drivers are usually in drivers/staging for a reason, and that reason is generally that they are crap. Perhaps those drivers will work for you. OTOH, they may cause random crashes with potential loss of data, etc -- YMMV. Additionally, the coding practices, design, etc used in the Realtek drivers in particular are...substandard... In Realtek's defense, they do seem at least reasonably willing to work with those who may want to fix/refactor/replace the drivers they provide with supportable drivers under drivers/net/wireless. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be particularly interested in doing that work themselves. Worse, they seem to be prefectly satisfied with continuing to turn-out one crap...err..."staging" driver after another... John -- John W.
