It's just Linus' kernel (specifically
6aa033d7efb85830535bb83cf6713d6025ae6e59) plus a few local i915
patches.  (I also have my aggregation failure warning patch in there,
but that just changes a couple of printks.)

No problem.  (I didn't think you worked on iwlwifi anyway...)

Do you know how hard it is to bisect compat-wireless?  Bisecting just
the iwlwifi directory is a bit of a pain because I have to manually
fix up everything that doesn't compile, and it's also a pain to bisect
the whole tree because I need some local i915 patches to get a working
system.  (Also, IIRC, 2.6.35 was very broken around -rc2 or -rc3.)
