OK. Still, it would be nicer to have you involved in brcmsmac's future
discussion, rather than just getting patches.

You spent *a lot* of time on cleaning brcm8021. You have to spend even
more. A very quick check gives:
> git log drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmsmac/ | egrep '^commit' | wc -l
301
That doesn't include changes done before brcmsmac was created (when
brcmsmac was brcm80211).

Isn't it at least worth considering getting involved in b43?
