Sorry, this question is what I do not quite understand.

 Here is my understanding of the situation.

  - Betweeen 2.6.16-rc1 and 2.6.16-rc2 a bug you are chasing was
    introduced.  You know rc1 works fine but rc2 is bad.

  - You suspect that changes introduced by merging Jeff's tree
    at some point between -rc1 and -rc2 may be causing this.

 Am I totally misunderstanding the situation?

yup ;)

The bug is in Jeff's tree only
(git+ssh://master.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git#ALL)
so I wanted to perform the bisection on the git-netdev-all branch.

So I did a `git log git-netdev-all' and looked at where the ipw2200 changes
were and then decided that the 2.6.16-rc1 and 2.6.16-rc2 commits straddled
those changes nicely, so I chose those as the bisection starting points.
