Don't do that -- wireless-testing is and likely always will be a mess.
It really only exists as a "-next lite" for those that only want
bleeding-edge wireless while keeping-up with linux-2.6 release
candidates.
You will be better-off pulling wireless-next-2.6 (and maybe
wireless-2.6 as well). The history there isn't always immutable
(although I prefer it to be), but it will tend to be a lot cleaner
than wireless-testing.
