Recently acquired a MacBookPro8,3, which has a bcm4331 card. Noticed some i=
ssues
with the wireless driver, specifically related to QoS, when using this devi=
ce.

Out of the box, applications like ssh appear to not work with the device wh=
en
QoS is enabled. This series attempts to improve the out-of-box experience w=
hile
cleaning up some fundamental issues in the driver when QoS is disabled, eit=
her
by the related kernel parameter or the newly introduced QoS disablement
function.

Running FW 666.2 during testing.

Log:
