Ali,
The patches look good, except for one problem. As this driver is in staging, the
patches need to be sent to Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>, not through
linux-wireless.
One other point - for those patches that are properly sent through wireless,
John Linville should be the one to receive those. He is the maintainer for that
section, just as GregKH is the maintainer for staging.
