Hey, that is cool!  Let's hope other manufacturers learn to embrace the open code in the kernel and abandon closed-source options that merely reimplement functionality that we already provide.

Let's also hope that this continues to motivate Nokia to support you are your coworkers in making strong contributions to the kernel in wireless and other areas.

Thanks!

John
