The wireless patch depends on the patches 1-6, which then depend on
Geert's patches.

I thought Geert's had been applied, but I guess I was looking at
it wrong.  Is there a powerpc tree that has them?  Perhaps 1-6 above
and the wireless patch should just be applied to that tree (if there
is one) and all merged together?
