Maybe because I'm a hot blooded asshole :) Note that I wasn't complaining about your patch (which is a bit huge tho for a stable release, but it did make a difference here along with Michael debug one). I just noticed that none of Michael last "final" patches would apply on 2.6.18 + your patch, and went into my usual rant in case they were supposed to apply to the wireless tree. There is a number of reasons why people can't just use a wireless-git or whatever else tree, and having something against mainline is the only way I see to get something to distros now, which is the way to fix the most people problems rather than only the ones finding this mailing list.
