Well, thx for the hint, but we are a bit careful when it comes to
putting snapshot/cvs/svn versions into the repo which hundreds or
thousands of users might use quickly. Hopefully we find a better
solution soon (kwizard is evaluating already afaik)

I wish the madwifi guys would track upstream closer -- 2.6.22 is out for
two weeks now...

Or even better: get rid of the stupid hal and then the driver finally
upstream, which would be the best for most (likely all) of us....
