Like Sadet mention, those are experimental and not being fully test yet. Once those new patches pass the basic regression test. the patches will push into two different tree wireless-next : patch contain new features http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next.git;a=summary wireless: bug fix patch http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless.git;a=summary Linville also merge both wireless-next and wireless tree into wireless-testing for people who want to test the breeding edge wireless driver changes http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git;a=summary of cause, Linville will push the patches to both net-next and net tree once he believe the patches are ready. > > (only here has new fix and fixes are verified correct, then John Linville could > > pull from here the iwlwifi.git, right?
