+[[http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_27|Linux 2.6.27]] is out. Our patch rate is increasing, there were about 700 patches in wireless code. The feature rate seems to be slightly decreasing, entirely new features are:
+  * [[en/users/Drivers/ath9k|the ath9k driver]]
+  * Intel wireless 5000 series support
+  * some RTL8187B support
+  * mac80211_hwsim - virtual 802.11 hardware
+  * some of the rt2x00 drivers can do hardware crypto now
+  * [[en/Drivers/b43|b43]] got mesh networking support
+Important internal improvements were made:
+    * mac80211 is entirely multi-queue aware now, with the new multi-queue netdev features
+    * mac80211 now requires many fewer kmalloc calls -- control information was moved to skb->cb
+    * mac80211 now creates correct QoS sequence numbers Unfortunately, as of now, aggregation had to be disabled due needing more than just fixups after the multiqueue work.
