The discussion on stlc45xx might get very technical (at least I'm
hoping so) and I doubt that very few people in maemo-developersare
interested about that. I don't know how many people are currectly
subscribed to maemo-developers, but I would guess that very few of
them are really interested in technical aspects of the wlan driver.
Most of the people just want the driver to work, they don't care about
anything else.

The archive for stlc45xx-devel should be open, so you can always check
from there what's happening. And if something newsworthy has happened,
I can always drop a note to maemo-developers as well.

Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I just won't be talking about
stlc45xx all the time :)
