Would it be ok if I can send 2 different patches for both these 2 versions?

Unfortunately someone changed a line of code (that is a few lines
before my patch
but not related to it) in a recent commit to wireless-testing and this
makes the patch
not apply-able to both wireless-2.6 and wireless-next.

I would say that the fix is not a critical one would would be useful
if applied to
wireless-2.6 too.

Thanks
