Yes, I've been doing a lot of work in order to make it live happily with
irport. Thanks to Jonathan Hudson, the driver will now probe the irq, dma,
iobase etc to use (uses the values set by the BIOS), so you should not get
that many conflicts as before (but you probably need to move away the
serial driver).

There are many bugs in the current FIR code so don't expect anything. I
borrowed myself a Dell Latitude yesterday, so I hope to try out the FIR
stuff today. Had to start hacking the findchip tool again since this SMC
chipset (958) is not supported by us yet.

Thanks
