If there are no problems reported during the next 4-5 days, and if it passes my stress testing here, then yes, there is a chance of it going into -stable. I normally wouldn't consider something like this, but the fixes are too important - many of the cards being produced these days have 21041 chips on them, and the old driver often didn't deal with those right. I'm expecting 2.1.5 to have a significant longevity, so I think support for the newer cards will become increasingly important down the road. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
