Nice, the diff went into wireless-next-2.6 GIT [1] (even comments are welcome!).

I would enjoy in the future, if you add by yourself a Reported-by as I
saw from Linus Torvalds adding it to commits where maintainers simply
forget it.
Without reviewing/testing/reporting the code won't get better and more stable.
I had tested all 10 or 11 recent ath5k patches, but lazy or simply
trust the work by Felix.

Not sure if I should add a Tested-by to all single patches of patchset
or it's OK to reply to the 1st in series?
Often I see a summary describing the patchset, something like "0/7: My
super patchset".
Replying only to 0/7 would make life easier... but I am *still*
learning from git use-case-2-use-case.
Ted (maintainer of ext4) told me even he is distinguising between
Reported-and-tested-by and Reported-by/Tested-by.
As a summary, don't forget to give credits to people.
(P.S. I am currently here on a lame-ass IBM T40p with Pentium-M... I
will contribute till it explodes someday).
