First silly question. What is an RG stack? I know about 802.11,
Hiperlan [12], Bluetooth, avian carriers, but i've never heard of RG!

Second silly question. Is this publicly released? Its a hidden
directory, so unless you know its there, you cannot access it.

You will need to assign the copywrite to RedHat. See
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/assign.html. Our past experience is
that Intel won't sign such an agreement. Maybe this time it will be
different?
You also need to post the package to
ecos-patches@sources.redhat.com. We will then take a look at it. We
will probably make suggestions for improvements. Once these are done
it will probably be committed.
