Re: Some aarch64 issues

The USB Wi-Fi adapters are almost all pure garbage, it seems.  Unfortunately, the built-in Wi-Fi on the pinebook is an SDIO version of the “rtwn”, which I have found to be both ubiquitous and unreliable.

Anyway, my intent is to do some work on rtwn and take a crack at an SDIO attachment.  But first I want to add some missing stuff to our SDIO code (I’ll do that with the bwfm driver on a RPI3), and refactor the rtwn driver to share code with urtwn.
