I'd be inclined to hold off merging for a bit.
Although rock solid for me, there has been very little feedback on these patches in orinoco-devel.
Patches 01 and 02 are trivial and should be OK to merge now if we want.
The main concern I have is that patch 09/19 may adversely affect spectrum_cs and the other symbol based cards. This could be avoided by invoking the symbol firmware download only from spectrum_cs, but I don't know if this is necessary.
I've been able to run/test all the other changes to my satisfaction on an Agere based card.
Dave.
