Applied, mega thanks!

Do you have a "HOWTO sniff USB under Windows" or URL to it?
May be helpful for other potential developers.

Patch actually says "tiacx..." which is what you obviously intended.

No objections, only changed that to _uppercase_ hex radio id
("tiacx111usbc1D") in order to match PCI firmware name convention.

Wonderful

Hi,

[noted that you CC'd netdev; I'd been wondering whether I should do that -
should really have done it myself...]

There's a page on the internet listing many different USB sniffers for
Windows. I don't have the URL handy right now, though, sorry.

Doh! I really wonder how that managed to escape me. Thanks for catching it!

I'm still expecting this to go up to perhaps 6kB increase, though.
