It turns out Eric Paris' inotify patches are required to fix 2.6.31-rc8 for me.. I tested just one patch and it fixed my bootup lag: http://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/notify.git/commit/b962e7312ae87006aed6f68ceee94bdf8db08338 FWIW for that patch: Tested-by: Luis R. Rodriguez So -- you if you're like me and had issues with bootup lag on wireless-testing, you can probably fix your wireless-testing by pulling his patches: git pull git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/notify.git for-linus I saw Linus had some other fixes but I'll wait for rc9 for that as my box seems reasonably stable right now.
