Subject: Please pull 'upstream-davem' branch of wireless-2.6

Dave,

These are destined for 2.6.25.  The patches fall mostly into two
categories: a new rate control algorithm for mac80211, and some
cfg80211 enhancements (including mac80211 patches to use them).

Also there are some small hits in the iwlwifi drivers related to
rate control.  I'll CC Jeff since his tree has a lot of iwlwifi symbol
renames and those patches will conflict (or break the build, or both)
when your tree and his finally come together.

Let me know if there are any problems!

John

P.S.  I have a few more related to the cfg80211 changes, but the
patches are cross-dependent on both your tree and Jeff's.  I will
probably send those to akpm in the meantime, and push them after
Linus has pulled both your tree and Jeff's in the 2.6.25 merge window.
