I also hadn't updated a 2.6.33-rcx releases in a while, as well as 2.6.32.y release. This should all now be in synch with upstream. I never got reports about MQ support on older kernels so I just threw in the code, issues can be dealt with once actually found. ath3k went in on 2.6.33-rc8 so we enable it now. Atheros Ethernet AR8152/AR8152 support was submitted upstream for atl1c but it hasn't been merged yet so likely it won't get into 2.6.33, but once its merged for 2.6.34 I will just throw in the patch as an extra onto the compat-wireless-2.6.33 releases. Worth noting also is if you have any specific patch which did *not* go into a stable release due to size but yet considered relatively important and if it is merged upstream please send a note to linux-wireless about it and we can consider enabling it if it is not insane. This applies to new drivers as well. I will likely an an extra/ dir. The only requirement is you *must* have the patch merged upstream on one of the trees, either wireless-testing, bluetooth-testing, or net-next-2.6. Reasoning for enabling patches like these is as I have seen, even as hard we try we somehow can't get rid of a small delta between what we feel needs to be supported and what is on stable. My main concern over accepting patches like these is creating a fork but forks can be avoided if we have a requirement of first requiring the patch on a development tree.
