I'm a tad confused about the bmac stuff in general. You said it was to support the ethernet port? Is it a rework of something else (I've certainly been able to use my iBook ethernet port without issue...)? Also, not to throw more stuff onto your plate but you may remember we had a short discussion about the wireless card and the iBook modem a while back. At the time you seemed to think that the wireless card wouldn't be too hard to get working; is that still on the docket or has it proven to be more difficult than you originally thought? Or maybe it was forgotten in favor of more important architectural work? (*NOT* pushing here -- just curious...)
