Do you know if anyone has tried changing this driver over to the cfg80211 interface from the wireless extensions? With the series I have prepared now, it is the only driver outside of drivers/staging that still uses wext and stops us from removing that altogether. [side note: it appears that the PS3 I have is the only model without wireless networking, as I bought cheapest Asian 20GB version back in early 2007. It still has the original firmware on it and should run Linux, but I haven't tried it since at least 2009]. Arnd
