Please read and follow the instructions in Documentation/SubmittingPatches. 
There are several things wrong here including no "Signed-off-by" line and the 
patch should be in-line, not as an attachment.

For wireless devices, the patch should be sent to John Linville 
<linville@tuxdriver.com> with the mailing lists as Cc.

Thanks for posting this info and good luck with the patch preparation.
