Also, thanks for the advice on the book :) As of this morning, Linus's git tree had: [/usr/src/linux] find * -type f | xargs cat | wc -l 14993265 and we're still at 3.2.0-rc2. Almost certainly will tip over 15M by the time Linus lets 3.2.0 escape. The linux-next tree (which will become 3.3) is already sitting at somewhere north of 15.3M lines of code. Yes, we're averaging 100K lines of code a month. > Network manager has one amusing flaw I noted on both Atheros and Broadcom > chipsets - it randomly suspends the Wireless card, requiring several > reboots to fix.

"card hangs and takes a few reboots" sounds like a MadWifi issue rather than NetworkManager - there's a *reason* MadWifi got deprecated in favor of the ath[59]k drivers. ;) > Also, thanks for the advice on the mac80211, I was only familiar with > MadWiFi as my netbook for wardriving ran an older Atheros card (Acer Aspire > One from 2008).

That's actually a reasonable goal easily achieved by 3-5 motivated people in their spare time.
