Ehud & Gavron: are you sure this discussion belongs to bcm43xx-dev?! AFAIK
the microcode doesn't really care about American vs. British spellings.

Also, a good rule of thumb about which spelling to use: if you are writing
about US subjects, use US English. If you are writing about British
subjects, use UK English. In general, use the most relevant spelling rules.
(This is what I call "Wikipedia English".)
