up to you

yes, in the cave where the wizard lives ;)

i was already informed of the *big* problem because 1 patch was
incorrectly marked as rejected, don't take it personal ;)

in general all wireless drivers should be manged via compat wireless. i
was looking at wireless.mk and am considering to move all of them to
mac80211. to me the file seems wrong, even if i merged one of the
entries myself at some point.
