Bad instructions on linuxwireless.org?

[Thomas Novin]

Hi all

Just updated to a newer compat-wireless on my Ubuntu 11.04 system using
instructions on
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download#Requirements_for_bleeding_edge.

It is often referred to that you should use 'date -I' to get the correct
directory. This expands to todays date in format of YYYY-MM-DD or
2011-06-14 for today. 

However, extracting
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 gives you a compat-wireless-2011-06-01 directory, not 2011-06-14.

I noticed in the archive that it is indeed from today with files dated
at least from yesterday.

That worked, the previous one was baked 2011-06-13 so why was my
directory named 2011-06-01 instead of that? I downloaded it just 15
minutes before sending that first email.

But OK, maybe a temporary problem.

When compat-wireless cannot run ./scripts/admin-update.sh it barfs and
does not make a tarball. After I applied Hauke's new patches it was
able to run that fine and we get a tarball out.
