Sorry, I didn't notice that sentence, just saw a single patch but I
usually prefer checking out from a git tree,

read these from MAINTAINERS, just want to confirm if iwlwifi.git has more
fresh content, this should be the most upstream, right?

(only here has new fix and fixes are verified correct, then John Linville could
pull from here the iwlwifi.git, right? As I understand, the MAINTAINERS model
should be the way of iwlwifi.git => wireless.git => net.git => linus)

By comparing the two, I got that iwlwifi.git really has more, now
prefetched for tomorrow
when in office sometimes Internet is not available, and in case
wireless.git with your patch
still does not work, I could have a try of iwlwifi.git;

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless.git;a=history;f=drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi
