[QUESTION] 4331 support

[Maxime Vincent]

Awesome guys,
thanks for the pointers, it worked! (i m sending this email using the b43
driver!)

I used the wireless-next git, and then additionally applied the "b43:
HT-PHY: allow writing longer tables with a single call" patch.
(and the ones in Rafal's last mail)

Thanks for the great support and fast answers!
Congratulations on hacking a driver like this together, I am impressed!

Best regards,
Maxime
