Greetings, This message is perhaps a few days late -- better late than never. :-) The big news is that wireless-dev is now dead, defunct, kaput. Please discontinue any use of wireless-dev or any of its clones. If you need access to the contents of that tree for historical purposes, please see the snapshot in my wireless-legacy tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-legacy.git wireless-dev-2007-09-24 I will remove the wireless-dev repository from kernel.org shortly after sending this message. From now on, please use the 'everything' branch of wireless-2.6 as the base for new wireless development. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git everything Please note that this branch is subject to rebasing. In general it will be rebased whenever Linus christens a new -rcX release, sometimes more often than that. "git rebase" and "git cherry-pick" are your friends. As always, patches based on a vanilla tree from Linus (or the 'master' branch of wireless-2.6) are acceptable or even preferable for those patches which do not depend on other pathes already in the wireless-2.6 tree. Otherwise, base your patches on the 'everything' branch as described above. Most of the other branches in wireless-2.6 are only there for administrative purposes. You can and should ignore them, with possibly a couple of exceptions. One of two possible branches of interest to some is the 'mac80211-attic' branch. This branch mostly contains patches supporting hostap functionality for mac80211. These patches will not be merged as-is due to unsettled user interface issues. I have preserved them on this branch solely as a courtesy to those who need this functionality. I expect for this functionality to be replaced RSN by work underway from Johannes Berg. The other possible branch of interest is the 'mac80211-dungeon' branch. This branch contains several patches for 802.11n and other advanced functionality (e.g. DLS). However, the mac80211 component maintainers have strongly objected to these patches for a variety of reasons. The various parties are still working to resolve the issues preventing these patches from being merged. In the meantime I have preserved these patches on this branch as a courtesy to those who need them as well. I hope this message clears-up some questions that people have been expressing. If there are other questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks! John -- John W.
