[John W. Linville]

Dave,

Here is the usual first batch of pent-up wireless patches after the
merge window.  It is the usual collection of various driver updates
along with a dozen or so mac80211/infrastructure changes.  There is
still more, but lots/most of what remains is dependent not only on this
batch but also on the fixes that only recently made it into net-next-2.6
(and which are not yet in wireless-next-2.6).  So, something to look
forward to... :-)

Please let me know if there are problems!

Thanks,

John

Hmm...well, I'm at a loss.  It certainly works here. :-)

Perhaps you could send me your config?  And maybe the output of
"awk -W version"?  I suppose it is possible that I'm relying on some
specific awk feature that isn't commonly available...?

Actually, I think it has to do with the C-style comments on the
cited lines.  Try the patch below?  If it works for you, perhaps you
could just apply it on top of the request pull?

Apparently some awk versions choke on C-style comments -- who knew? :-)
