Honestly, what's the problem here?  It's incredible that it works
even a little bit.  That's better than it was before bcm43xx
existed.  I don't see how you can claim that it's awful and that
we're not working on trying to make it better.  Larry has done a lot
of work to keep the SoftMAC port working as best as possible and has
backported many of Michael's devicescape fixes.  Just because
Michael isn't working on SoftMAC doesn't mean that it's useless.

As for fixing bcm4318, have you reviewed the spec changes and
compared them to the driver?  Instead of complaining, be happy that
it works at all and maybe help us out instead of sending useless
emails to the list.
