Oh this was a long time ago, pre ath5k I think.

No, not at all, I meant wireless-next-2.6 is best for bisecting.

wireless-testing is indeed the place to look at for development.

I don't think we ever really publized this much, because technically
the reverting won't happen unless John rebases and typically between
rebases to a next RC kernel you *could* technically bisect an issue.
But not all the times.

Right, which is why I wanted to mention it, will extend the info on
the wiki on the development section once John ACKs/NACKs this.
