Linux 2.6.25 is released. There are a number of important changes:

  • mac80211 now supports HT (802.11n) operation

  • a new rate control algorithm for mac80211 (using a PID controller) was added

In drivers, there were a number of changes as well:

  • rt2x00 drivers now support software antenna diversity
  • zd1211rw is now a mac80211 driver
  • b43 supports new devices (BCM94311MCG rev 02)
  • a new rtl8180 driver (for rtl8185 PCI wireless cards)

As always, of course, lots of code improvements (notably libertas), bugfixes and device IDs for new (or just found to be working) devices.
