Hello, Linux wireless people.

On the b43 device list[1], you have support for the BCM4331 listed as
"Soon (3.2+)". Does this mean "it will be in 3.2," "we will start working on
it after 3.2," or something else?

Support for that chip will be in kernel 3.2. In fact, the code now in the
wireless testing git tree handles that chip without any other changes (as of
the August 30 update).

Matthew: you should just apply one more patch to make performance on
BCM4331 much better:

This patch still waits for updating specs [1] before going mainline
(ping Larry about that ;) )
