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'.
