You need the raw patches, and I'm not sure if you can get them from the ath5k-devel list archive, but as these were cross-posted to linux-wireless, you can get them from http://marc.info (use the "download message raw" link). You generally need the entire series, all 7 patches in this case. As a last resort, you can ask the patch author to forward you a copy. Once you have all the patches, you can apply them individually with git-am, or as a group if you have them in mbox format. See its manpage for details. The usual alternative is "patch -p1 < foo.patch" but it won't create git commits for you. The patches should go in pretty soon, the only thing objected to was the over 80 col changelog. >>> Please reply to my personal e-mail address as well, I'm not subscribed to >>> the list. It is common etiquette on Linux kernel-related mailing lists to simply do reply-all -- especially on lkml where most people do not subscribe. -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com -- 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
