netdev-2.6 queue updated

From: Jeff Garzik <hidden>

The attached changelog describes what I just pushed out to BitKeeper 
(and what should be appearing in the next -mm release from Andrew).

Note to BK users:  please re-clone netdev-2.6, don't just 'bk pull'.

Most of this is simply stuff that is "hanging out for a while" in 
netdev-2.6 while it -- hopefully -- gets testing and review.  All of 
these changes are bound for upstream eventually.

Note on wireless:  HostAP and Vladmir's effort to make 802.11 a "real" 
Linux network protocol both seem to have stagnated a bit.  I'm still 
hoping that
* Intel will appear with a patch that merges their drivers
* some magical engineering force will start using the HostAP code as 
common library code in other drivers (notably Intel)
* Vladmir or someone will continue Vladmir's work to integrate wireless 
more closely with the Linux network stack

It's much more efficient to do
% bk undo -a`bk repogca`
(which deletes everything in the local repo that's not in the parent)
rather than pulling the entire repo over the wire again. [1]

You can check what would be deleted by this command with "bk changes -L"
similar to how you can "bk changes -R" to figure out what would be
pulled.

[1] Well, actually, it isn't *quite* that simple; in certain cases,
    repogca will delete more than it needs to.  But it's still more
    efficient than a re-pull.

Well, by "re-clone" I mean recreate.  It's probably better to do what I 
do, clone the latest linux-2.5 repo and the pull netdev-2.6 into that. 
Far less messy than 'bk undo'.
