Hi Luis,

Finally got around to reading this.  A couple of things weren't clear to me.

On the page, if the $HOME is assumed to be /home/user, then:

$HOME/wireless-testing is where the generated snapshot is left;

the "git clone" of linux-next, compat, and compat-wireless-2.6 all happen directly in $HOME;

Running this, however, doesn't work:

[philipp@builder ~/cw]$ env | grep GIT
GIT_TREE=/home/philipp/cw/wireless-testing
GIT_COMPAT_TREE=/home/philipp/cw/compat
[philipp@builder ~/cw]$ cd compat-wireless-2.6/
[philipp@builder compat-wireless-2.6]$ scripts/admin-clean.sh
Cleaned wireless-bt-compat-2.6
[philipp@builder compat-wireless-2.6]$ scripts/admin-update.sh
