oh i see what's going on here. ugh. :-) I'm ok with this, but gosh we need a less cpu specific way of doing all of this!

yeah just remove the - at that first comment line and then i'll be good to go

boot tested on this laptop; associated and works. Getting 10mbit down and 6mbit up on speedtest.net speedtest on my busy 2GHz air. It looks like it hovers around MCS3/MCS4 here but that's likely distance/busy air.

oh, before I remove it - go update the comments - they need to be a bits horter and there's no longer a kernel config option for it.

I'm not sure who to route this to for review. I'll go poke around!

i'm pretty sure we can check in binary files nowdays; i won't do it as part of this commit but I'll go review moving the uuencoded firmware files to binary files in a separate diff.

add a note to UPDATING too explaining what the version bump is for.

make sure you do a "make universe" on a beefy enough machine to try and capture any of the weird kernel variants having different sizes.

thanks! @markj what do you think?

Tested on RTL8192CU and RTL8188CUS as well. Probe/attach is fine for these two diffs.

Locally tested on RTL8821AU . We should test it on a few more just to make sure it's okay.

So hm, yay or nay on this?

same a the previous one; what devices have you tested this with?
It'd be good to know that it doesn't break any of the current rtwn USB devices.
(I'll try it myself locally tonight.)

which devices have you tested this on? You should add that list to the commit message.

build / boot tested on g5 powermac, ran a buildworld on it. all good so far.

devin, let's split the 'handle -h and provide better help' change from the tag handling change.

@wulf are these IDs (and the others in the stack) ok to you?

please at least test this with actual audio output (eg mpg123 with an mp3 into speakers.)

is there anything else needed for this?

ooh crap how'd i forget about this? Let me go and re-test this and then get it landed.
