   Does anyone know what kernel sources the my-wireless-testing git
is based on? If it is based on the stock 2.6.26 release with only
wireless specific patches, perhaps I could just diff it against 
2.6.26 to extract the patches needed for ath9k support? I would
rather stick to the stable git releases of 2.6.26 for now with
the minimum patches applied to get ath9k working on my MacBook Pro.
