Well, it first goes to wireless-2.6 (linville), then pulled to
netdev-2.6 (jgarzik), then pulled to torvalds-2.6 (linus) before davej
pulls it down for the Fedora Kernel.  That's at least a week or so,
maybe more.  Although the patch is quite trivial and doesn't affect
operation in any way, so maybe davej would accept it for Fedora kernels
before it hits Linus' tree.
