Great - I have checked out the whole git of wireless-testing a few days ago
and will try to find some time to track down how some of the recent changes
elsewhere broke, and do some of the stuff 'properly'.

Both and/or attaching to the redhat bugzilla :-). (have as many people
seeing/testing...) There is a newer vendor driver out from the one Herton based
on, so that might fix something; also the control queue switching I mentioned in
the my forward port effort may have something to do with that.

Cheers, and looking forward to moving this forward :-).
