Subject: [PATCH] compat-wireless: use linux-stable instead of linux-2.6-allstable

From: Luis R. Rodriguez <[email protected]>

I used to use hpa's linux-2.6-allstable.git tree to make
stable releases of compat-wireless. This allowed me to
make updates to the stable releases whenever a 2.6.x.y
extraversion got out -- but also to make updates whenever
Linus updated his own tree so I can make RC releases
based on the latest RC release. Greg has taken over of
that tree and its now called linux-stable.git. What I am
seeing though is that the linux-stable git tree now seems
to not update as often to Linus' tree. This is fine as all
I have to do is add Linus' tree as a remote and fetch
those objects and then reset the tree to say, v3.2-rc6
and that'll get what Linus' tree looks like today.

This patch just changes the path where we pick up stable
releases from but also documents this change in case
anyone that wants to make stable release must also add
Linus' tree as a remote and fetch those objects.
