Many thanks to Adrian for his hard work on all this and to everyone
else who volunteered to help make this happen, including the
understanding by our management at QCA and even Tensilica requires
some handsome applause for their commitment, understanding on letting

http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k_htc_fw

Full steam ahead!
