Not quite true -- wireless-testing doesn't branch from net-next-2.6,
but wireless-next-2.6 does.  Often that is a benefit for "just
wireless" development, but sometimes not...

I can push this through wireless-next-2.6 only (i.e. not in
wireless-testing), Dave could take it directly, or it could just wait.
Any preferences?
