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. -- John W. Linville linville@tuxdriver.com
