It's a shame that users get that impression but sadly I must admit I
know what you mean and yes, we should try harder instead of hacking in
gazillion new features. But the answer is simple: writing new features
is much more fun than bughunting...

Hmm, that's strange. I remember reading that while
there's no real maintainer of the driver, there are
still people doing some work on it, according to this:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=127747220616577&w=2

Did you also add the wireless maintainer to the Cc of your bugreport
- "John W. Linville" <linville@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> - along with a detailed
description of what the problem is, which kernel, how to reproduce along
with dmesg?
