Linus released 2.6.36-rc5 a few days ago, I've been waiting to kick
out a new stable release for compat-wireless once some patches were
applied but those stable patches never came so instead I've sucked
*all* the pending stable patches from linu-next.git, threw them into
compat-wireless-2.6.36-rc5 and produced a new tarball. This is a
stable [1] compat-wireless-2.6.36-rc5-2-s [2], the "-s" postfix here
annotates that pending-stable fixes have been applied on top of the
vanilla Linus release. Please report any issues ASAP. For details on
changes you can refer to the ChangeLog-2.6.36-rc5-wireless [3].
The list of pulled in pending-stable patches from linux-next.git are:
