I appreciate all the help, but now I'm confused. I got these instructions from Larry Finger:
git branch michael
git checkout michael
git pull http://bu3sch.de/git/wireless-dev.git master

And these instructions from Pavel Roskin:
git-remote add bcm43xx http://bu3sch.de/git/wireless-dev.git
git-branch bcm43xx
git-config branch.bcm43xx.remote bcm43xx
git-config branch.bcm43xx.merge refs/heads/master
git-checkout bcm43xx
git-pull

Which set of instructions do I use? Are either of these still applicable, seeing as I was asked
to pull from Jiri Benc's tree?

Thanks


I code, therefore I am
