Stephen&Greg: sorry, I accidentally sent you a 1.8 MB patch. I didn't
look at the size of the patch at all until I started to wonder why I
don't see it on linux-wireless. Man that driver was huge!

John, please take the patch from master.kernel.org:

/pub/linux/kernel/people/kvalo/ath6kl/staging-remove-ath6kl.patch

It will be available via HTTP once the mirrors have synced up:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/kvalo/ath6kl/staging-remove-ath6kl.patch
