New features, bigger bugfixes, new drivers, etc.? For the drivers part you could trigger the driver maintainer(s)? Also, it would be nice to read from user-space news like wpa_supplicant, iw, crda & wireless-regdb, etc. related to the changes to linux-wireless (for example you should install iw in version XYZ to have support for new features of your driver ABC). I have seen cool overviews from David Miller for net-2.6, regularly also from rcX to rcX+1. This is also some sort of documenting the development in your sub-trees. Personally, I am very interested in power-management topic (my hardware is ath5k and iwl3945 currently), but I am planning to upgrade to 802.11N (router and wlan device). - Sedat - -- 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
