This patch did not apply cleanly to plain 2.6.26-rc1: off by -4 lines in
iwl-3945.c and by 1078 lines in iwl-4965.c. More important, it did not
fix the problem of wpa_supplicant thinking the 802.11A access points are
on channel 0. Same results with 2.6.26-rc1-git7, with & without patch.
Any idea when this patch (and the patches it appears to depend on) will
make it into the 2.6.26 release?
