Dave,
Here are three more candidates for 2.6.34. I hesitated to push them,
but at least two of them are documented regressions and the other (i.e.
"iwlwifi: work around passive scan issue") avoids some rather annoying
firmware restarts at little or no risk. I think it would be good to
take these now rather than later.
Please let me know if there are problems!
Thanks,
John
