Now only fixes for truly "show stopper" bugs will be accepted for
the 3.5 stream.  I don't believe that any of the handful of fixes
currently in wireless.git (but not yet in net.git) are sufficiently
important to make the cut.

I will pull the current wireless.git tree into the wireless-next.git
tree, and then wireless.git will remain frozen until 3.6-rc1 is
released.  If you have a wireless fix that you believe is sufficiently
important to merit being in 3.5, then please post it to the netdev
list (and Cc: linville@...driver.com when you do so).

Thanks,

John
