Hi Dave,

I have been carrying this patch in linux-next for some time as a fixup
for the driver-core tree.  It is now needed in net-2.6 (i.e. my
net-current) (since you merged the wireless tree) *after* you merge with
Linus' tree i.e. the down()/up() are present in the net-2.6 tree and the
changes to the driver core to use mutexes are in Linus' tree.
