Well at the moment the cfg80211/nl80211 updates have had a great impact on our CVS tree. So it is starting to look like we are going to drop our CVS version if we don't find a backwards compatibility for vanilla kernels for it. Working the other way around will have a negative (But as mentioned above a probably unescapable) side effect. 90% of our testers use the CVS against vanilla kernels, and I cannot see them swicthing to the wireless-dev tree. So I could switch (it is already under consideration) but it will cost us a lot of testers.. :( Anyway, with the updated debugfs patch I'll have the versioning removed. Ivo
