I have a go7007usb(which needs a firmware, i can pacakge it if needed) , So I
will review it.
Does the package needs to handle the Obsoletes/Provides for ralinks firmware ?

For now: Not completely sure, but I don't think so, as the ralink drivers from
Ralink (those oget takes care of for RPM Fusion) are sometimes a bit ahead of
what's in staging. So there sometimes might be reasons to use those instead.

Here is the kernel modules installed ? Unless renamed, I miss the go7007_usb
one!
prism2_usb are very old wifi-b usb stick. Ive trashed the two I owned one week
ago. Do we really want such old devices ?
Most of the package build success, As soon as I have answear from the above
question, review can go quick.
At least there is a need to see what's wrong with go7007 compilation. (failed
on x86_64 at least).

It will be easier to fetch patches only needed by ralink if they are keept
separate.
Well, the drivers are kind of forked and differ more then just a bit (the
kernel-developer iirc once or twice integrated/ported the changes from newer
ralink releases into staging), so I guess most patches for the ralink packages
won't work for the staging drivers (and vice versa). And patching these drivers
should not be needed often, as upstream should makes sure they compile.
It seems that we do not have inkernel ieee80211.ko older stack
anymore?
Shall we expect a conflict with mac80211 when both are installed but only
mac80211 is available ?
Can't fully follow what your are up to. Can you re-word?
Side note: I checked rtl8187se with a earlier version of this package and it
worked fine.
Here is the kernel modules installed ? Unless renamed, I miss the
go7007_usb
one!
I only enabled a few where I thought it might make sense to have them in
Fedora. Enabled go7007_usb now as well. I'll plan to enable more if there is
interest.
prism2_usb are very old wifi-b usb stick. Ive trashed the two I owned
one week
ago. Do we really want such old devices ?
The hardware supported by those drivers was popular once and it doesn't hurt
much to just compile and ship the driver -- that's basically why I think
enabling these is a good idea.

Ok, I haven't extensively tested go7007 but it works with a video source as a
v4l2 device and alsa audio input. so good. (there is a need for a firmware, but
I don't think a requires on the firmware will be necessary as this package
bundled differents firmwares)
About the ralink STA drivers. Unless I'm wrong, there are three kindq of
drivers for each devices:
- The one (vanilla) from ralink (named rt2860sta.ko rt2870sta.ko rt3070sta.ko)
- The modified version (forked) that is in staging. (named rt2860sta.ko
rt2870sta.ko rt3070sta.ko, also...)
- The complete rewrite (named rt2800pci.ko rt2800usb.ko and so on)
that one might not be ready, but when it will, it will be in fedora's kernel.
So the problem here, is to have two differents drivers for the same devices and
using the same name. So we won't be able to activate one or blacklist the
other.
There are two solutions I could expect at least.
-Either the staging driver is better, and we only provides it.
Then if ralink's release a new version, the downside not to have the last
release, is less important than to have a better supported driver.
- Either there is a need to have them both, and the staging-kmod one need to
Conflicts the the rt*-kmod.
mac80211/ieee80211 and rtl8187se case
What I meant with that is that it is not garantied that ieee80211 based drivers
will not conflict with mac80211 based ones. But it's not relevant anymore and
rtl8187se.ko seems to have ieee80211 stack compiled internally for that reason.
So this will not lead to a problem.
So the only remaing point is what to do with Ralink's drivers ?

Round about correct.
So the problem here, is to have two differents drivers for the same
devices and
using the same name. So we won't be able to activate one or blacklist the
other.
Which IMHO is no big problem, as the kernel/modprobe will chose one or the
other *if* the user for some reason installed both. But if that is considered a
problem then I'll just disable the ralink drivers for now (albeit that might
confuse some people as well, as some will likely expect ralink drivers in a
kmod-staging package...).

Afaik, from a list of modules that matches a particular device ID, kernel loads
a module and if it fails it loads the other module in the list. I don't foresee
a problem either.

We never had this case before, the previous case we had, the
module was
differently named, and uses different process to load. (xorg driver in the
nvidia case) So that's important enought:
1/ Have this tested we apppropriate hardware
2/ Do them Conflicts, even.
Now you have been warned, that will be your responsabily as the maintainer of
the related packages.

Are these drivers available in F12 repos (I can't see them, but I could be
doing something wrong)?
