Jeff, Greg, Gary, and Dave,

These patches build upon the SSB bus support added to net-2.6.24 to
support the b43 wireless driver.  Since Dave has that support in his
tree, I'm asking him to merge these patches as well.

The first patch changes b44 from being a PCI (i.e. SSB-in-drag)
device to being a native SSB device.  This has little effect one
way or the other for laptop/desktop/server machines.  But, some
embedded devices have b44 hardware but no PCI bus (i.e. just SSB).
This patch enables the use of the b44 driver on that hardware.

The second patch adds a driver for a USB OHCI device which lives on
the SSB bus.  Again, this is found on a number of SoC devices used
especially in wireless routers and APs.

Thanks for reviewing/ACKing/merging!

John

The patches are available here:

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/linville/wireless-2.6/ssb-drivers/0001-b44-port-to-native-ssb-support.patch
	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/linville/wireless-2.6/ssb-drivers/0002-usb-ssb-hosted-OHCI-driver.patch

This one needs to go through the linux-usb-devel list (not the -users
list) and get acked by David Brownell, the current OHCI maintainer.

thanks,
