In case there are no volunteers what will be future options for using the latest wireless code? I think I still don't understand the all developer process. The wireless wiki [1] says the diagram is out of date, thats obvious, since wireless tree is now wireless-drivers and the maintainer is Kalle. wireless-drivers ----> net -----> linux So what is the process for wireless-testing tree, the merge of linux, mac80211and wireless-drivers trees?
