Subject: [PATCH 5/6] ath5k: Update version string

* Change version number, we've added various new features lately.
We need to find a way to maintain this, maybe on each kernel release
or something. Also remove "EXPERIMENTAL", we aren't experimental any
more I think ;-)

How about just remove this all together, the version should go by the
kernel or git describe.

Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: remove MODULE_VERSION

Since this is updated manually and sporadically, it is fairly useless
anyway.

I'm OK with it, seems reasonable, after all we track changes on the
wiki page per date with links to commits on git so there is no need to
maintain the version field...

Against linux-next (next-20101203) this patch needs a refresh (see attached v2).
Guess you created your patchset from wireless-testing.
