Dave,
A slew of patches intended for 2.6.25... Included are some big updates=
to
b43, iwlwifi, libertas, and rt2x00. Also included are some sizeable
mac80211 updates and a bunch of cleanup work from Al Viro, as well as a
smattering of other patches.
More notable are two new drivers: ath5k and rtl8180. Both of these
drivers have seen a lot of development during this cycle, and both have
been serving commendably in Fedora 8 for some time. I think we are bet=
ter
off with them in the upstream tree now.
Please let me know if there are problems!
Thanks,
John
P.S. It looks like there are some minor conflicts that you will see in
the rt2x00 driver when rebasing on Linus' current tree. Just FYI, but
feel free to ask if the fixes aren't obvious...thanks!

I found the original patch in my records. Looking at it now I can
see what was intended, but I guess it wasn't clear enough for me to
see then.
If you'll try to follow the "From: " convention above I'll try to
watch more carefully for anomalies like this...deal? :-)

What I usually expect, when it isn't clear, is that the first
"Signed-off-by:" I see is what I use at the author.
That's a pretty reasonable assumption so you might therefore want to
adopt that convention when submitting future patches.

Yes, sorry for any mixup. If forwarding a patch authored by someone
else then please add:
From: Patch Author <[email protected]>
...as the first line of the message. Or state that someone else is
the author clearly in the email.
Thanks!

In that case, you should add a "From:" line.

Hmm, then the fault doesn't seem to be on my side.

This patch was originally from Marc Pignat <[email protected]>.
