Hello again.

Since this has landed in 14-STABLE, I tried this merge for fun.
To be clear: I applied to 14.2 all your commits from 14-STABLE after 
14.2 was released.
This almost went cleanly and I had only one little thing to fix in order 
to be able to compile.

System came up perfectly and, after very brief and insufficient testing, 
still seems to work.

Then I set compat.linuxkpi.80211.hw_crypto=1.
First strange thing: "ifconfig wlan0" output doesn't differ; it' still 
says "54Mbps" and "11g".
WiFi doesn't seem to work properly, as I cannot even ssh into the 
machine (hangs after some startup messages).
Also I started seeing a lot of messages that invite me to report to PR 
274382.
I'll eventually try in other networks, if I can.



Fine, this was just a test for fun.
Either I did something wrong or it just can't work on 14.2.
If it's the latter, I can wait for 14.3.

Now, the real question: are you interested in such reports in 274382?
Given the "unofficial" (to say the least) state of my kernel, I'm not sure.



  bye & Thanks
