I had a little email trouble w/ the orignal patch post.  I hand edited
some headers and I must have screwed them up.

Anyway, the patches have been reposted and they seem to have made
it through to the list.  Please do look at them -- I'm sure they can
benefit from your loving eye.  :-)

The patches are also available here:

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/linville/wireless-2.6/mac80211/

I realize this is a bit late in the merge cycle -- this timing is the
best we could manage.  If the patches are fatally flawed then we can
try for 2.6.23.  But if possible, we would like to get them into the
current cycle.

FWIW, the patches have been paired-down a bit from what is in -mm,
including the removal of AP and WDS mode support and related ioctls.
