The wireless-dev tree's p54 driver is the one I am going to package; I
should have made that clearer in the ITP.
The p54 driver certainly seems stable enough for regular use based on my
own testing of it.
I think that creating this package is worthwhile if it helps _anyone_ get
their wireless hardware working under Linux, and if it lets upstream get
_any_ useful feedback or bug reports.
PS, please CC me in your responses as I read debian-devel though Gmane
and may miss out on your messages. :)
