Hey, that is cool! Let's hope other manufacturers learn to embrace
the open code in the kernel and abandon closed-source options that
merely reimplement functionality that we already provide.
Let's also hope that this continues to motivate Nokia to support you
are your coworkers in making strong contributions to the kernel in
wireless and other areas.
Thanks!
John
