What do you mean by that?

That *I* should be fixing the patch in question instead of the submitter?

Do some different rules apply in the networking than in other parts of
the kernel that I'm not aware of?

There were valid concerns raised on the initial rt2800pci patch submission,
yet two days later patch is in John's tree, after few more days it is in yours
tree and happily on his way into 2.6.33.

Until issues mentioned in:

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/17/81

are addressed rt2800pci shouldn't be queued for Linus' tree.

[ Please note that this driver doesn't work at all currently so the standard
  argument of having hardware support early upstream cannot be applied here. ]
