Support the code you provide publicly is your purpose, me fixing it  
for you is not support.

What questionable business?

It's against the law to modify a cards ID's?

You like the ubuntu code base and that is your choice, mine is  
different, I believe it suffers from poor management and it is not  
your place to dictate what my opinion should be.

Since you acknowledge you are responsible for this b43 code then make  
sure it works and I wont have to come asking why it doesn't and why  
you broke it, or are you now acknowledging that it's not sound code  
and is questionable if it works type of software?

You know what, no need to respond, you have nothing intelligent to  
add as evident of your responses so do yourself a favor and don't  
bother and it will die off.
