It's a shame that users get that impression but sadly I must admit I know what you mean and yes, we should try harder instead of hacking in gazillion new features. But the answer is simple: writing new features is much more fun than bughunting... > (At least on the b43 bugreport list; I reported a bug as their driver > seems to have destroyed my wifi card.

I remember reading that while there's no real maintainer of the driver, there are still people doing some work on it, according to this: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=127747220616577&w=2 Did you also add the wireless maintainer to the Cc of your bugreport - "John W. Linville" - along with a detailed description of what the problem is, which kernel, how to reproduce along with dmesg? -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
