These drivers are no longer being developed and the original authors
seem to have abandonded them and hence, do not want them in the mainline

The software is a modified version of wl_lkm_722_abg.tar.gz from the
Agere Systems website, addapted for Ubuntu 9.04 and modified to
fit in the current Linux kernel (2.6.31).

Creates RAM based block devices (/dev/ramzswapX) which can be
used (only) as swap disks. Pages swapped to these are compressed
and stored in memory itself.

The module is called ramzswap.ko. It depends on:
 - xvmalloc memory allocator (compiled with this driver)
 - lzo_compress.ko
 - lzo_decompress.ko

See ramzswap.txt for usage details.

The author has found a number of problems with the current version
of this driver in the current kernel, and is reworking it to get

the driver now and add it back in a future kernel release.

This revision adds an initial TODO file

This driver no longer requires to have the firmware compiled in
it with the CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE configuration option.

Furthermore, we now have the right to distribute the firmware
binaries.

This is the Linux kernel driver for the Security Processor, which is
a hardware device the provides cryptographic, secure storage, and
key management services.

This is the vendor driver for the Ralink RT3090 chipset.

It should be later cleaned and ported to use the existing rt2x00
infrastructure or just replaced by the proper version.

[ Unfortunately since it follows the same design/implementation like
  rt{286,287,307}0 drivers (already present in the staging tree)
  it is highly unlikely that it will see much love from the wireless
  development community.. ]

However since the development of the cleaner/proper version can take
significant time lets give distros (i.e. openSUSE seems to already
have the package with the original vendor driver) and users "something"
to use in the meantime.

I forward ported it to 2.6.31-rc1, ported to the Linux build system
and did some initial cleanups.  More fixes/cleanups to come later
(it seems that the driver can be made to share most of its code with
the other Ralink drivers already present in the staging tree).
