Here they are [1]: [patch 062/108] mac80211: fix minstrel single-rate memory corruption [patch 063/108] cfg80211: fix for duplicate userspace replies [patch 064/108] cfg80211: cleanup return calls on nl80211_set_reg() [patch 065/108] cfg80211: return immediately if num reg rules > NL80211_MAX_SUPP_REG_RULES [patch 066/108] cfg80211: fix in nl80211_set_reg() [patch 067/108] ath9k: Fix bug when using a card with a busted EEPROM [patch 068/108] ath9k: Fix bug in calibration initialization [patch 069/108] ath9k: Fix bug in determining calibration support [patch 070/108] ath9k: Fix bug in checking HT flag [patch 071/108] ath9k: Fix bug in scan termination [patch 072/108] ath9k: Fix memleak on TX DMA failure [patch 073/108] ath9k: Initialize ANI timers [patch 074/108] ath9k: Fix PCI FATAL interrupts by restoring RETRY_TIMEOUT disabling [patch 088/108] ath5k: avoid PCI FATAL interrupts by restoring RETRY_TIMEOUT disabling All these look good. I can think of one fix which didn't make it, the wext netlink fix for event sending which leaks 4 bytes of uninitialized data. It didn't make it to stable as Johannes noted its been broken for ages. I actually don't agree that's a good argument to not fix it in stable as it can be fixed with a one-liner but whatever, for details see the tread [2]. Only funny thing I did notice was that the revert for the PCI fatal stuff for ath5k was for PCI resume, whereas ath9k had it for both probe and resume. I did check and reason for this was that the original ath5k patch only removed the 0x41 0 write on resume. If there are any other patches missed for 2.6.31.1 please send to stable@...nel.org by following the guidelines on Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt for them to be queued up for review for 2.6.31.2.
