Really, this is enough. It seems clear that neither side of this debate sees or appreciates the injuries that the other side claims. In any case, there seems little good can come from continuing this bickering. Now that Bart is posting patches and the rt2x00 team is actively reviewing (and mostly Acking) them, I hope everyone can just BACK THE HELL OFF and let the process work itself out. Please let this discussion end. John -- John W. Linville Someday the world will need a hero, and you linville@tuxdriver.com might be all we have. Be ready.
