My sincerest apologies to Damien and everyone involved.  I was going by 
historical convention where when someone posts a new, out-of-tree driver or 
patch-set it's "theirs."  Further following tradition, how does "iwiNG" sound?

Using the stock driver, I get hard lock-ups during interface configuration, 
wpa_supplicant crashes, dhclient crashes, firmware "fatal errors" and device 
wedges that require a reboot.  In the same world and kernel, the iwiNG 
driver has absolutely none of these problems.
