Dave,

Another big round of fixes for 2.6.27. Included is also a renaming
patch and some related patches that rename iwl4965 to iwlagn (reflecting
that is supports iwl5000 as well).

The other big(ger) thing here is the new ath9k driver. It is probably
still far from perfect, but I'm hearing good reports on its
functionality and the Atheros team (and others) have already been quite
responsive on comments, etc. I think it is best to go ahead and get it
into 2.6.27.

Please let me know if there are problems!

Thanks,

John
