That patch is in the upstream branch (also available in the master
branch) of wireless-2.6, which is probably what anyone doing wireless
patches should(*) be using.
The approved release process only allows for non-bugfix patches
in the first two weeks after a Linus blesses a new kernel release.
After that only bugfixes are allowed, with non-bugfix patches getting
queued for the next merge window. The upstream branch represents
that queue of patches.
Hth!
John
(*) The exception being those workign on Devicescape-related patches,
who should be working off the master branch of wireless-dev.
