That's going to be a maintainance nightmare in the long run, at least in my opinion. We should have one A032 in our office somewhere, I'll try to find it and see how b43 works with it. (For others wondering what we are talking about: Nokia 770/N800/N810 products enable long slot time when associating to Nokia A032 AP to workaround a bug in the AP.) -- Kalle Valo
