Linux 2.6.26 is released. With almost 600 changesets related to wireless, this release brings you lots more wireless goodies:

• mac80211 now supports draft mesh networking (802.11s; thanks to the open80211s project)
• zd1211rw supports mesh networking (b43 will follow in 2.6.27, hopefully more drivers later)
• mac80211 now supports more optional HT (802.11n) features
• mac80211's monitor interfaces can now be configured more precisely, “cooked” monitors were added
• mac80211's IBSS implementation now supports IBSS merging and received various bugfixes
• mac80211 now has an in-kernel documentation book, help welcome!
• b43 now has support for PCMCIA devices and QoS/WME

Also, lots of removals this time:

• the bcm43xx driver
• the old ieee80211softmac code Access point mode has received a lot of attention in the stack and drivers, but is not ready yet.

Finally, lots of internal API updates and fixes.
