Hm that would suck big time. At any rate, even if it was git wireless-testing seems to have an issue right now. I'll confirm shortly with Linus' own tree. > What is linux-2.6-allstable? hpa's collection of 2.6 stable kernels, including extraversion stuff. > My guess is that the culprit is between > v2.6.31-rc8 and whatever is at the head of linux-2.6-allstable. But the issue is *not* in linux-2.6-allstable, it is only present on wireless-testing, and I went as far back as merge-2009-08-28. I was using whatever tag was available prior to you moving to rc8, and that worked. Luis
