We seem to have two patches, one written by Jean and one by yourself, perhaps? And the fact that the changlog didn't start with From: Jean Delvare indicates that you are to be considered the primary author? btw, we seem to have a number of bcm43xx patches banking up. I don't know if John has merged them because we're back in the situation where some of John's tree has been merged into Jeff's tree but hasn't gone upstream - so my git-wireless.patch generates a massive reject storm against git-netdev.patch So I suspect that all these bcm43xx might not be making it into 2.6.17.
