If, and I say "if" it doesn't require too much time, then sure I'd be
willing to give it a try. I'm just a bit extra cautious because I find it
hard to reserve time to work on the Wavelan driver, so if it's something I
think I can do in one or 2 evenings, than OK (if it's OK with Paul).

dangling pointer n.: [common] A reference that doesn't actually lead
anywhere (in C and some other languages, a pointer that doesn't actually
point at anything valid). Usually this happens because it formerly pointed
to something that has moved or disappeared. Used as jargon in a
generalization of its techspeak meaning; for example, a local phone number
for a person who has since moved to the other coast is a dangling pointer.
