</div>I'm going to clean HT-PHY (BCM4331) support in about a week, as David<br>
wrote, it should be quite stable.<br>
<br>
Most of the patches are already in wireless-next, I just need to test<br>
that tree, see if everything was sent&applied correctly and drop<br>
BROKEN from B43_PHY_HT.<br>
<br>
If you're "brave" enough, you can:<br>
1) Edit Kconfig and drop BROKEN from B43_PHY_HT<br>
2) Edit dma.h and define B43_DMA_RINGMEMSIZE to "2 * PAGE_SIZE"<br>
(or just wait a week).<br>
<br>
<br>
I think I will start some b43 tree at <a href="http://git.kernel.org" target="_blank">git.kernel.org</a> finally, but I<br>
need to spend some time on learning merging & resolving problems.<br>
