Very reasonable -- I suspect even and "easy" -mm looks a lot like
the last few days have looked in my trees...

Anyway, I do have prepared an omnibus patch for you:

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/linville/git-wireless-2007-09-17.patch

And FWIW, there is an 'mm-master' branch matching the usage to which
you are accustomed.  The git merge if you pull from that branch onto
net-2.6.24 is reasonably straight-forward and not too painful.  Still,
I'd recommend the patch at the URL above... :-)

Thanks,

John
