(up to commit c38f82f5df1d99828d03014e8f8c608128d3d4ba)

2.6.32 is still being worked on, but to date almost 750 wireless patches are in.

Among the changes:

• lots of wl1251 fixes, support for the 1271 chip
• orinoco begins conversion to cfg80211
• nl80211 testmode command for factory testing/calibration
• cfg80211 gains the ability to connect to APs
• mac80211 no longer depends on wireless extensions
• mac80211 scanning is much improved
• wireless is now network namespace aware
• mac80211 has a tracer now for driver interaction
• mac80211 no longer creates the master netdev wmaster0
• improvements to mac80211's connection loss detection
• cfg80211 finally verifies that changing channel won't interfere with operation
• initial work for b43 LP PHY support
• almost all mac80211 callbacks can now sleep (configure_filter was made able to)

Quite a number of changes, and not small changes either – for example the ability for cfg80211 to emulate wireless extensions fully now or the LP PHY support in b43.
