My first linux-2.6 kernel patch accepted ;)

During last month I was trying to push one patch into mainline — adding few CF cards into hostap_cs driver.

First attempts was not correct so I started from scratch and created few small patches. Then patch which my changeset required was marked as ‘ignore it’ so I had to recreate my patchset again (and again).

Finally it was accepted and yesterday commited into wireless-2.6 git tree.
