Remember, wireless-testing gets stuff from wireless-next.git sucked in
after wireless-2.6.git bits are pulled in, so really its
wireless-next.git --> linux-next.git as the daily compat-wireless is
based on linux-next.git. The wireless-testing.git tree just lets you
use a stabe RC kernel with the next kernels' 802.11 bits sucked in. So
you will get your patches merged daily on a good
John-Linville-and-Stephen-Rothwell-ate-his-wheaties-day :)
