Hi Kalle,

I wanted to ack this patch, but can not locate it in my email not in 
linux-wireless patchwork. Was it posted to the networking list only?

Using scripts/get_maintainer.pl with the patch would reveal the lists to 
post to in order of preference. For wireless driver changes I refrain to 
linux-wireless only, but that is a personal choice I guess.

Regards,
Arend
