Larry, it must be a misunderstanding.  I realize that softmac is not
your code.  You are doing a great job.  I only regret that I don't have
time to make patches for softmac, so that your driver can work better.

That's all great, and I don't want to discourage you from that.  I was
just trying to help somebody who is using the driver with softmac now.
Maybe it was just a coincidence that I started hitting various softmac
bugs as I saw that e-mail.

I only mean I regret that I cannot accompany my complains with patches
right now.  Although I think I should.

I do appreciate your help.  I absolutely didn't mean anything bad
towards you or the approach you are taking.

Perhaps I should keep my frustrations to myself.  Sorry if I offended
you.
