Still, it would be nicer to have you involved in brcmsmac's future discussion, rather than just getting patches. You spent *a lot* of time on cleaning brcm8021. You have to spend even more. A very quick check gives: > git log drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmsmac/ | egrep '^commit' | wc -l 301 That doesn't include changes done before brcmsmac was created (when brcmsmac was brcm80211). Isn't it at least worth considering getting involved in b43? -- Rafał
