I just developed a pretty much identical patch locally to solve my wireless connection loss issues and was about 20 minutes into a 5 hour test to make certain it worked correctly. I wish I'd been faster at getting mine tested and out the door. Oh well, at least -somebody- got a fix up. Indeed, please merge this to 2.6.27 ASAP. Having a problem like this hit the 2.6.27 final release would -really- suck. - Steven -- 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
