Dave,

Another round of fixes intended for 2.6.30. In particular, "mac80211:
avoid NULL ptr deref when finding max_rates in PID and minstrel" fixes a
bug that is a by-product of a fix that has already gone to Linus...oops!
As for the others, the iwlwifi patch adds PCI IDs and corrects antenna
configurations for a couple of devices, the rtl8187 corrects a problem
some people were hitting relating to using non-DMA buffers for USB
messages, the airo fix corrects an possible buffer overflow, and the
ath5k fix documents the oops it is correcting.

Please let me know if there are problems!

Thanks,

John

P.S. I probably should have gotten this out sooner, but due to a burp
at my mailserver I was a bit unaware... :-(
