Please check SubmittingPatches and > stable_kernel_rules.txt for more information. It isn't absolutely clear to me that those rules applies to "wireless", being a sub-subsystem of "net". Quoting from stable_kernel_rules.txt : "- If the patch covers files in net/ or drivers/net please follow netdev stable submission guidelines as described in Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt" And the netdev-FAQ.txt goes into great detail describing the procedure, which basically is "Give davem a hint that the patch should go to stable". (and I'd like to note that this works very well in practice). But I have noticed that some stable patches seem to flow more directly into stable from "wireless" than from the rest of "net". I just don't think the current _written_ docs support that procedure. Those docs are possibly wrong? You should probably know much better than me :) Bjørn -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
