That is basically right. In the past patches often went to wireless-testing and to wireless-next-2.6/wireless-2.6 at the about the same time. However upstream standards have tightened in ways that make me feel it is appropriate to give patches more public testing even before sending them for -next. In this case, I was also sick all last week which has slowed thing a bit more... Thanks, John -- John W. Linville Linux should be at the core linville@tuxdriver.com of your literate lifestyle.
