Please don't submit such patches to linux-wireless. Also, when submitting patches, avoid whitespace-damage (the best way to do this in Gmail is to attach the patch as a file *and* add it inline, with a warning that the attached version should be applied, not the inline one) and always include a Signed-off-by: line. --Gábor -- Vista: [V]iruses, [I]ntruders, [S]pyware, [T]rojans and [A]dware. :-) -- 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
