Good evening folks :)

Yes the commit message says "Tested on iwl3945 only."
..which I did find a bit strange. Is it normal to deploy code to the mainline
that is untested? Why was this also applied to 4965?

I'm just asking questions here, as I have no direct knownledge of C or
kernel driver programming. I've 20 yrs of web-dev experience though
and know from experience that shipping untested code is a bad idea.

Anyway, not trying to point fingers here! Just curious to find those who
wrote the actual code, maybe get some info on why this was added
and if it is really important. If not, maybe a revert is in order

Regarding testing, I obviously have a laptop with the 4965 card and
I'm more than willing to test stuff out if needed.
