Based on the earlier comments, I still see lots of problems in getting brcmsmac
into the drivers/net/wireless tree; however, the solution where Greg lets you
manage that part of drivers/staging does not seem to cause too many problems, as
long as he is kept in the loop. If you could push those changes through Greg
rather than DaveM, I don't think he would lose any control.
