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. > The only two fixes that will have any future are (1) get bcm43xx-softmac > switched over to mac80211 > (which I am working on) or (2) fix bcm43xx-mac80211.

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. > Don't give me that SH*T about how much you have on your plate.

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. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
