Eek, um OK, we'll give this a some good review and get back to you. I'd like to also point out we have a few directories in the compat-wireless-2.6.36.y branch which are used to add extra patches on top of the stable 2.6.36.y kernel release, some of them are dragging in pending stable patches (pending-stable/ directory), some are cherry picked patches from linux-next (linux-next-cherry-picks/) and some are patches posted to linux-wireless which at that time had yet to be merged into linux-next (linux-next-pending/ ). The compat-wireless-2.6.36-5-spn.tar.bz2 release for example contains all of these three patch series. I should not the pending-stable patches are *all* pending-stable patches for linux-wireless and bluetooth. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/compat-wireless-2.6.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/linux-2.6.36.y;hb=refs/heads/linux-2.6.36.y > Right now I didn't merge any ath9x patches until this is resolved. This will take a bit of time, as some of these patches may require manual backport and as you noted some dependencies. Given that this is for long term we will do some work to get this to you. Its too bad we can't get AR9003 support in there, that's a huge set of patches though.
