The merge window is still open at this time.  I haven't seen a rc1 yet.  Anyway I saw that only the 3 bugfixes are currently in the queue.  As the owner of several (10 by the university and 2 personal) rt73 usb wireless cards, I would really like it if the latest version 2.1.5 made into 2.6.26.  As someone who has used 2.6.24 and finished compiling 2.6.25 two days ago I find that the driver in both kernels is not good.  Not good means I get a wireless signal and I get data transfers, but the speed fluctuates and have other issues.  However with each release, the problems I have are slowing decreasing.  I have been waiting patiently for 2.6.25-rc1 to have 2.1.5 since 2.1.5 was announced.  I really think all of 2.1.5 should get in 2.6.25-rc1.

Thanks,
