Thanks for the nice feedback.  

This was submitted far too late for it to be considered 3.3 material.
Not much to do about that.  Most of the developement happened after
3.3-rc1 anyway.  So I'm afraid you'll have to wait a couple months more
for the 3.4 release.

I understand that wasn't the message you wanted, but it does give us all
a chance to test it thoroughly on different types of hardware. And maybe
even prepare some userspace tools :-)

Which brings me to a couple of questions I have for you: What radio
hardware do you use (lsusb -v), and which userspace tools?

But we should maybe continue any userspace tool discussion here instead,
where it's a bit more on topic:
