Artur, can you please test the attached patch.
if it works, please add a tested-by/acked/signed-off (whatever you want) line.

John,

This patch is made against the current wireless-testing.
(so I hope you don't get any rejects if you merge put it into wireless-2.6 straight away).
Of course, I tried to apply them on top of the last patch (free after tx) and all you
get is little complaint about offsets.. e.g:

patching file p54usb.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 301 (offset -13 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 327 (offset -13 lines).
