If there will be one more -rc, could you include my airo_cs fix?

So do I. Moreover, -pre should start with several network-related fixes,
so your fix might find a comfortable place there :-)

I will release another -hf with recent fixes. I noticed I missed three of
them from 2.4.32-rc2 (I thought I was up to date but they showed up just
before the announcement). They are the memleak in sd_mod, the TCP snd_wnd
fix and the fix for the infinite loop in udp_v6_get_port(). So I can also
merge your fix early if you want (I already queued it for later inclusion).
I generally try to avoid including fixes that are not much transversal,
but I read in your patch that the bug you fixed could cause side effects
to any parts in the kernel, so if you feel it's appropriate for -hf, I'll
trust you :-)

Cheers,
Willy

I'd say the big advantage of my patch is that although it's hard to see 
the bug it fixes, it's easy to see that it can't break anything.

Agreed, will include it in -hf9.
