I am online daily via a "BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)", running on Sid (plus Experimental packages when it's worth it), so I could offer sporadic/as-needed assistance with testing, limited debugging and any other not-too-time-consuming tasks (I don't have time to offer full-blown "maintenance assistance" for now though). > Fortunatelly, the package has apparently still lots of active users who > come along with usable patches (but sometimes also with weird ones, > therefore having strong C language knowledge and some kernel > infrastructure knowledge is advisable). I'm not a DD or DM, but am advanced developer & sysadmin (comfortable with C, kernel hobbyist - "hello world" modules/dkms-building/tracing, created/maintained in-house .deb packages) and long-time lurker of debian-devel, etc. If useful, add me to your list to ping if/when a specific need arises (I already read apt-listbugs output for critical/general stuff). -- Rowan Thorpe
