The initial version flat zip files were included in posts on the 'CBRF'
thread here. A beginner here, I don't know about the CBRF software
distribution. The software was (and is) intended only as a stopgap or
fallback and diagnostic tool. Presumably an installation and
configuration package is required, and here I am clueless. Also, the
software has been under active development, unfinished, "EUA only," and
not ready for "prime time."

My first posts were to the CBRF thread on troubleshooting the "Wireless
Connectivity Loss" issue. The wlanpoke script grew out of this
investigation, and was posted there. (This and other instrumentation
provided data that lead to an investigation into the radio's "wireless
network stack" from the chip to the user mode clients. This
investigation was stymied by the GPL'd open source driver source code
being held secret, but now...) I suggested a new 'developer' thread
about wireless connectivity, but the CBRF thread seemed willing keep the
discussion there. That thread is required to build the firmware for
debugging and modification, and the thread is well suited to topics of
experimentation, so it it the main thread.

Noticing frustrated user-oriented thread activity regarding lost
connections (e.g., this thread), I started posting there (here) as well,
referring to the CBRF thread for more information. It seemed that users
who had problems with connections gravitated to threads about "lost
connections," or "wifi 6," etc., and missed the firmware thread. This
thread is perfectly titled; most seeking help would read it. So now it
is two threads, with main posts on CBRF, and, later, notices here.

I am new to GitHub (this spelling requires documentation change, another
revision!), and just reacquainted (and still uncomfortable) with git.
GitHub has an "Issues" section, which has been used, but I'd rather
issues be handled in the CBRF thread because it is read closely by users
who can react quickly and propose changes to the other like-minded
readers.

Sorry for the difficulties from two threads. I subscribe to both as an
email for every new post, like an old-time mailing list. This has
helped.
