The problem in b43 is, that b43 needs to support _all_ ucode APIs from 5 to x (Dunno where we are right now. somewhere > 15). That was relatively easy until now, because the API didn't vary a lot between cores. I don't know what will/did change for latest wireless features, though. But you already applied some changes to the affecting code. I don't know how complete that stuff is. -- Greetings, Michael.
