You didn't send this directly to John, not sure if he will pick it up.

Do you think this should go for 3.1? With this patch ppl will directly
see interface is present and will just use it or see error about
firmware in dmesg. Without the patch, person just have to know b43 is
supposed to support his card.


Maybe you just could use "bcma: " prefix :)
