That will open a short merge window for non-"fixes" to go into 2.6.18. Along w/ the patches currently on the 'upstream' branch, I'd like to see some of the the drivers hanging-out only on the 'master' branch of wireless-2.6 to get polished-up and pushed-out. What do you think are the best candidates? http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/linville/wireless-2.6/master/ Anyone have anything else they are holding-back for 2.6.18? What about the wireless button infrastructure Ivo posted yesterday? Is that useful for any of the drivers currently in wireless-2.6? I was caught a bit 'flat-footed' for the 2.6.17 merge window. I'd like to be prepared for this one... :-) Thanks! John -- John W. Linville linville@tuxdriver.com
