This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: vt6656: use ieee80211_tx_info to select packet type.
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: vt6656: use ieee80211_tx_info to select packet type.
Information for packet type is in ieee80211_tx_info
band IEEE80211_BAND_5GHZ for PK_TYPE_11A.
IEEE80211_TX_RC_USE_CTS_PROTECT via tx_rate flags selects PK_TYPE_11GB
This ensures that the packet is always the right type.
