Please don't just clone Linus's tree, pull net-2.6, and then stuff
things on top of that and ask me to pull.  I end up being forced to
end up with a merge of Linus's current tree as a result, and that's
not how this is supposed to work.

I keep net-2.6 stable for a reason.  Jeff did what you're doing right
now the other week and now you're doing it too.

There is zero point in my keeping net-2.6 clean and not rebasing it
constantly if people are going to use it like this.

You should just have a clone of net-2.6 sitting around as your
wireless fixes tree, and you simply add wireless patches and ask me to
pull whenever it is appropriate.
