No worries, it always takes some time to learn the process. And I hope
you send more ath6kl patches in the future :)

I'm on vacation right, but I will take a look at your patch next week.

BTW, I have documented the process of sending patches to ath6kl here:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath6kl#Hacking_on_ath6kl

Hopefully that helps. Please let me know if I need to improve it.
