ok, I compiled up bwn + those patches, and my BCM4312 got stuck in a
fatal DMA error loop.

I'm about to start cutting up the bwn driver into smaller pieces for
Felix to work on and maybe bring over more PHY support. Are there any
other fixes/changes to bwn that you suggest I merge in before I do
that?

Thanks!
