Considering that the unpatched driver already contains a binary hal, its
hard to believe that this is going to prevent someone here from trying the
patched version.
From what I gather, its impossible (or very difficult) to verify the
source, being it in a binary form.
The last informative msgs posted here said we're waiting a patch from sam
leffler to make hal talk to 5007. Isn't this patch exactly it?
Maybe madwifi has other reasons to withdraw the patch. I'm really curious
about that.
But I do agree that raw language is unacceptable.
