John,

I have been testing these patches with a 14e4:432b device for at least two
weeks. With them, the driver still does not handle WPA/WPA2 encryption and falls
over with OFDM rates, but it is rock solid with WEP encryption and at 11 Mb/s.
Rafał and I have some ideas why the limitations, but the holidays have
interfered with debugging.
