All I can offer is the ability to test. I do not have the skill necessary to fix this or I would have written a fix and asked for it to be committed. It is amazingly frustrating to know that there is a workaround and to see that others consider this a low priority issue. If not you, then who should I ask about committing the new HAL to HEAD and helping me check out whatever I need to check out to test the fix so the rest of us can have wireless Ethernet working out of the box?
