linux-wireless compile broken

Pulled and attempted to build linux-wireless this morning:

[greearb@build-32 linux-wireless.p4s]$ make bzImage modules
make -C /home/greearb/git/wireless-2.6 O=/home/greearb/kernel/2.6/linux-wireless.p4s/. bzImage modules

wireless-2.6 doesn't have this:

commit e5b3e80016198ee55c82dfd653c1dee99a38964b
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
Date:   Wed May 5 23:17:29 2010 -0700

    Staging: netwave: delete the driver
    
    It has sat in the staging directory since October of 2009, and no one
    has stepped up to take it over, so odds are, no one cares about it
    anymore.  So, it is now deleted as scheduled, and documented in the TODO
    file.

You should probably just turn-off that driver in your .config.
Anyway, I normally recommend that people use wireless-testing for
actual development.

Ok, I'll dig up wireless-testing.
