I was really hoping for these side-band wires to be a thing of the past, but clearly the world hasn't moved as quickly as I hoped. >> Anyway, it'd be good if the Marvell people could chime in and let us >> know how they'd prefer to handle this. > > I'm not sure this is really a Marvell-specific problem.

It would give us more coverage, and prevent everyone from doing their own thing. But as you mention, WoW doesn't seem to get much traction. Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny...
