Well, that is interesting. Even though CONFIG_STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD=y,
drivers/staging/wlan-ng still gets built. I suspect it is because it
uses the same config option CONFIG_PRISM2_USB. This is _not_ what I
intended, but it is what it is now (and will be for the released
kernel). I guess if its working, then we ought to prefer the staging
driver over the one in ubuntu/misc/wireless/prism2_usb.

Stefan - I think you should consider completely removing the
ubuntu/misc/wireless/prism2_usb and ubuntu/misc/wireless/p80211
directories in order to avoid future confusion. They are already gone in
Karmic.
