OK, not sure if a merge of wireless-testing will be clean so you may want to just clone fresh.. Anyway after you get wireless-testing bits you'll want to apply these: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/60127/ http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/60128/ http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/60126/ If you want to merge wireless-testing you can try: git merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git master If that'd doesn't gos smooth just clone it and I think you should be able to safely --reference your current tree for objects for Linus' tree.
