Thank you John. I have been using wireless-testing in my main laptop for
god knows how many years and I hate to see it go. I consider it as the
safest way to test the latest wireless code as it's just the latest -rc
release from Linux plus mac80211 and wireless-drivers trees. linux-next
is just too experimental for me, I don't want that anywhere near my
laptop :) It would be interesting to know what others think about
wireless-testing and how much users that tree really has?

I hope we can find some solution and wireless-testing continues to
exist. Otherwise testing latest wireless code will become more
difficult.
