Yeah, wireless-next was pulled last week so most likely we will create
ath-next pull request this week.

BTW we are planning to move ath.git to a new location, rename branches
etc. I think we'll see if we can also setup it so that it can be pulled
to linux-next, so that you don't need to ask this every time ;)

(Just joking of course, there a lot of benefits from having the tree in
linux-next)
