Hi Xingquan,

yes I think so as well.
This line shows this:
priv->apCurrTD[0] = &priv->ap_td0_rings[0];

When the "a" does not belong to hungarian notation it can remain.


The following is just my personal opinion:
You can keep working on this driver and your patches will remain in the 
git. But I think I will propose to delete this driver. Reason is that it 
supports maximum 54MBit/s and the connection is always weak. Its form 
factor is mini PCI that is really old. I use an adapter from mini PCI to 
PCI to get it into my Desktop PC. It furthermore is not buyable anymore.

I like to focus on the hardware that is really well useable and on the 
market available:

For example:
rtl8712  (r8712u)
Backard Bell: AW-NU120

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
