Subject: Compat-wireless for 2.6.37-rc1 - 802.11, Bluetooth and Ethernet backported

Linus released 2.6.37-rc1 a couple of weeks ago and we now have our
first vanilla release for the same kernel. This is a stable [1]
compat-wireless-2.6.36-rc7-1 [2], this release has no extra patches
applied on top and at this point I am a bit lazy to go ahead and suck
these in so please note you'll likely end up with a lot of stable
patches missing but I will hope that in the next linux-next.git these
get sucked in and I can simply use ./scripts/admin-updates.sh -s to
suck them in for the rc2 release.

Please report any issues ASAP but be-aware there are a few stable
patches missing still. I'd trust the compat-wireless-2.6.36-5-spn
right now more if you are looking for something really stable, but I
do expect this release to stabilize after a couple of RCs. For details
on changes you can refer to the now very highly detailed
ChangeLog-2.6.37-rc1-wireless [3] which includes the changes for
compat.git, compat-wireless.git and the Linux kernel for the
backported subsystems.

The filename on the website has no -rc, please fix as this will
definitely cause confusion.
