ACK, unfortunately.

How much testing have you (and others) done w/ b44?  I had to remove
the b44 ssb changes from fedora because a) users reported problems;
and b) I was more worried about wireless than b44+ssb. (sorry!)

So, has anyone been using b44 in -mm?

I guess I don't see a problem w/ merging the mips part, as long as the
b44 part has been thoroughly tested.  I wonder if Ralf has an opinion?
