Unfortunately (as I noted to Dan Williams) there is a bit of a
disconnect between libertas upstream (linux-2.6.git) and libertas-2.6.git.
Does libertas-2.6.git include the 19 fixes pushed upstream recently,
from Dan?
I worry that your (and others) useful work might get caught behind the
roadblock...
