There are (*greps quickly*) about 80 tests for the phy revision, and if new hardware shows up I'd rather have it not working (with an appropriate message to report to us) than do funny things. Also, I don't expect new G PHY revisions to show up, Broadcom will be following MIMO stuff which is a new N PHY, for their own maintenance burden I doubt they'll be adding new G PHYs (since they also hardcode all the allowed revisions and would have to provide new drivers for it). johannes
