That is fair enough. Which is why I posted it here myself. The main reason for my posting the announcement however was not to point out that it slipped somebody's mind but rather to comment on what is being promised as functioning in the release and how my own and others' experiences are in conflict with those promises. Do you really think it's fair to call the current b43 AP mode functional given the two major defects that have been reported; those being the huge softirq (beating the crap out of the CPU) and the wireless connection dropping after some amount of data being pushed through it? Maybe there is a plan to fix those before the final release, but in that case I think the RC1 notice should have made note of the known issues and the plan to have them fixed by the release. Unfortunately I'm not a kernel-space developer so I don't know how to go about figuring out why the softirq is so high -- or I would, given that it was reported on the openwrt-users list as trivial to discover. Trivial for somebody who understands the intricacies of the kernel and interrupt handlers and so on I guess. b.
