There's been a recent flurry of development, and -pre26 is now out the 
door with a handful of critical bug fixes and some new feature work, 
most notably in the wireless extension realm thanks to Dan Williams at 
Redhat.

In other news, I've finally set up a anon-access mirror of
linux-wlan-ng's subversion repository.  It's the merger and cleanup of
several different internal CVS repositories, with all sensitive bits
stripped out (NDAs and commercial forks) but otherwise has the full
revision history going back to the beginning of time.  This has been a
bit of a pain to get operational, so I hope it comes in handy.  The
address may change, depending on the popularity of the repository (it's
being served out of my living room) but I'll cross that bridge when it 
comes to it.

To check out the repository:
svn co svn://svn.shaftnet.org/linux-wlan-ng/trunk linux-wlan-ng-devel

Bang on this and enjoy.  Hopefully the subversion tree will mean more
stable releases, as my ability to test some of this stuff is fairly
constrained these days.
