Re: [PATCH 0/15] mac80211/iwlwifi (#everything): integrate IEEE802.11n support

Johannes,

We understand that these two issues need to be taken care of, and they
will be. My concern is that if current patches won't be merged soon,
we will have to pay the effort to rebase the patches again. We are
very limited with resources dedicated to supporting the merge of
802.11n to wireless-dev. This mailing list taught us in the "hard way"
in the recent months: submit often submit early... So for making Ron's
work efficient I suggest to merge his patches and let him do the fixes
on top of them, specially since the two fixes are not 802.11n core
critical issues and don't break any existing working flows. Do you
feel comfortable with this approach?

Guy.
