Dave,

One more for 2.6.27 -- a fix for a possible interrupt storm.  There is
even a link in the commit log to a youtube video of the storm in
progress. :-)

Let me know if there are problems!
Can you also add this one? It doesn't panic the kernel when a frame from
firmware is invalid.

Is there an open bug report for that anywhere?  Is this something
that real users (no offense to Johannes) are likely to hit?
I'm just exporting the major bugs from our internal database to
buzilla, 5000 is new so
we are hitting the problems during testing  before users report them.

Now I don't know if it was good idea to push the driver upstream same
time as it hits the market.
You're right -- pushing it sooner rather than sitting on it internally
probably would have helped to give it more visibility sooner.
 I think it was pushed on time it would not bring the fixes sooner.
But we are getting again to the same arguments
