Yeah, there's the chance of clashes. In practice there won't be any clashes,

Would the following be sufficient?
(1) The utility /bin/dbus-uuidgen is used to create a file
/lib/firmware/ssb/mac_address. The command to create this file if it does not
exist could be added to the scripts that use fwcutter.
(2) In drivers/ssb/pci.c, the firmware loading process
Hi,
I have been using my 4318 successfully with b43 (thanks, Michael and
all devs / reverse engineers!) for many kernel revisions now, both as a
client, as well as in monitor mode (kismet, airodump). With
2.6.34-rc1, I can't get monitor mode to work successfully - I get
errors like this:
Had some really great experiences with your software recently, especially
using a public Wifi system with really weak/out of range signals. I could
still get emails even when Windows couldn't find any unencrypted APs,
and it worked like a champ even at one site where there were 14 APs.
