Subject: pull request: wireless-2.6 2010-04-09

Dave,

This fix is intended for 2.6.34.  It resolves an issue involving an
Oops on boxes w/ iwl4965 hardware, apparently introduced by another
recent patch.  The thread describing the issue and the resolution
is here:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127074721531649&w=2

In order to avoid reverting that patch, please accept this fix instead.
As usual, please let me know if there are problems!

Thanks,

John
