Your subject: should say where you did this.  For this example, it would
be:
	Subject: staging: wlan-ng: fixed...

Also, "what" coding style problem did you fix?

You sould say what you did, before the signed-off-by line.

Can you fix that up and resend please?

Also use scripts/get_maintainers.pl to send to the proper people and
mailing list.

thanks,

greg k-h

Work against linux-next.  Someone already fixed this.  The subject
should have been:

[PATCH] staging: wlan-ng: <something something netdev_err()>

With correct prefix and a more descriptive title.  See how Vitaly did
it: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-driver-devel/msg46770.html

regards,
dan carpenter
