PLease send this upstream for inclusion in 2.6.18, if possible. This patch

Are you saying this will break the upstream branch of wireless-2.6?
I'm not too excited about that. Under the normal process, that would
mean 2.6.19 would be broken until we get the next patch.
When will the patch for the upstream branch be available? Can you make
that patch based on this one (i.e. apply this one before generating
the next patch)?
It will not break wireless-2.6. I sent the equivalent of this patch for wireless-2.6 to you under
the subject "[PATCH] bcm43xx-softmac: Init, shutdown and restart fixes" on August 21, just after I
took over maintenance of bcm43xx-softmac. If this is not currently queued, please let me know. There
is still a problem with one section of the code touched by that patch that is related to a
synchronize_net() call. Michael and I are trying to get a network guru to answer some questions
regarding that function. So far no response to our pleas.
I would like to get a listing of patches for bcm43xx-softmac that are queued but not yet applied,
and the order in which they will be applied. I want to make sure nothing has fallen through the
cracks, and that the patches will apply cleanly.
Thanks,
Larry
