Ivo almost immediately ACKed 10 of Bart's patches (despite Bart's
failure to post them to the mailing list directly per convention),
so you criticize Ivo for saying he needed time to review the rest?
And you accuse him of excluding Bart's contributions when they have
only just arrived?

I would ask the same of you, Ingo.  You have burst onto the scene
only recently, full of accusations and blame for one side and
apparently unable to recognize the faults of the other.  You fail to
recognize that this set of patches is essentially the _first_ time
Bart has actually made any attempt to work on the rt2x00 drivers.
Your partisanship is clear.

At least Bart has finally made some rt2x00 patches available.  That is
how things get done.  You continuing to defend him as some sort of
martyr is completely unhelpful.
