Trivial or not, they are wireless LAN patches and they go here.
FWIW, you posted them in the middle of the maintainer's merge window
for 2.6.33. So for now only fixes are being merged. I wasn't sure
these qualified, although upon closer review they may.
It strikes me as strange that you are hitting two drivers to support
one device. Are you saying that your ar9170usb has the goofy storage
device thing using the same USB IDs that the zd1211rw devices like that
used? I suppose that makes some sense given the shared heritage...
We did just have a long (and possibly unresolved thread) about
this type of practice (i.e. eject in the driver) not too long ago.
But since zd1211rw is already doing this, maybe this patch is
acceptable...?
Anyway, I have your patch. Please be patient.
John
