Right, sorry, I haven't updated the docs to add documentation for
them. First please read:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=128716953726075&w=2

-s is for getting and applying pending-stable/ fixes
-n is for applying the patches linux-next-cherry-picks directory
-p is for applying the patches on the linux-next-pending directory
-s is for applying the patches on the crap directory

That was sort of an RC release I made that I was waiting on feedback
on for some extra linux-next-pending patch merged but I was still
waiting for one test and no one got back to me yet on that. I'm just
going to go ahead and release a new tarball today.

This is the crap and the stable fixes propagated. I only had one crap
patch to incorporate though so I will move that to linux-next-pending
and we'll have at -ps release, which means one linux-next-pending
patch will be applied and we'll also get all pending stable fixes
merged.

Hope this helps.
