Seriously Pavel, give me a break. I already responded pretty quickly to this bug report, took a look at where the issue could be and proposed a fix (which Ivaylo tested successfully). Now, wireless drivers are *waay* outside my area of expertise, so I added some other folks to CC in the hope that they could help turn my fix into something upstreamable. Meanwhile, Ivaylo looks like he has something better than what I came up with already.
If you care about this driver, why don't you help us fix it rather than making unhelpful suggestions from the sidelines?
