Subject: pull request: wireless-2.6 2010-12-22
Dave,
Three more fixes intended for 2.6.37...
The one from Johannes Berg avoids a NULL pointer dereference in the mesh
code. The one from Johannes Stezenbach fixes bug 24892, which is a
lock-up caused by rt2x00. Finally, you probably recognize the one from
Meelis Roos which removes some log spam coming from hostap. These have
all spent several days in linux-next without any adverse effects.
Please let me know if there are problems!
Thanks,
John
