Johannes,
I'm trying to construct a new ath/main which involves combining:
wireless + wireless-next + ath-current + ath-next

I'm seeing a conflict when combining wireless and wireless-next.

There are similar patches in each tree fixing the same problem in a slightly
different way.

Can you pick one over the other? I'm guessing drop the wireless-next version?

thanks
