John,
Please pull for-linville branch of my tree.
It contains a lot of bugfixes and makes a _big_ step towards
mergability for mainline.
It's not 100% ready for a merge, yet, but we are making good progress.
The transmission power problems on the 4306, that were one of the big
merge blockers, seem almost all fixed. I get good performance now.
I also added lots of txpower debugging stuff so one can actually
see what's going on and how it's scaling.
Together with Michael Wu's sta-locking rewrite patch for
mac80211 we have the most critical merge blockers resolved now.
I'd like people to test this code.
It will spew a big assertion failure and a stacktrace on loading.
Ignore that for now. It's known and considered nonfatal for now.

I am pleased with the performance on my pcmcia 4306 by all means now :)
great work in that department. I test my bcm4318 as well it worked, but
very unusable bit rate fluxuates so bad that you can not do anything
consistent. Just want to make sure you know the code has been tested on
both cards and were it stands ... Once again great work Michael.
