Anyway, I do have prepared an omnibus patch for you: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/linville/git-wireless-2007-09-17.patch And FWIW, there is an 'mm-master' branch matching the usage to which you are accustomed. The git merge if you pull from that branch onto net-2.6.24 is reasonably straight-forward and not too painful. Still, I'd recommend the patch at the URL above... :-) Thanks, John -- John W.
