As David M. so recently reminded us, 2.6.17 is likely to be blessed soon.
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?

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

Yes, we would like to merge the big tx-power-rewrite (aka get 4318
working) into the bcm43xx driver, but it is only 90% completed atm.
I guess we still have 1 to 1.5 weeks left, before the window closes?

We would like to get PCI-E support patchset into bcm43xx driver as well,
but we are still testing it. I hope we'll be ready in a few days.
