Hi,

So our MLO work is progressing. Internally, I have limited support
for MLO connections now (over hwsim), but that's at least another
25 patches on top of this series.

But would be good to get things out first anyway. I'm tempted to
just apply this (after net-next merges wireless-next and we will
merge back) though - even if we have more fixes to it later.

Just for my own patch submit process. What is the reason I am seeing the 
"wifi:" prefix being used with patches on linux-wireless list? Is there 
other wireless tech used, eg. "bt:" or so?

Regards,
Arend

I have been supposed to document this in the wiki and announce it
properly, but as usual I was too busy before the vacation to do
anything. And now I'm on vacation and trying to enjoy the 13 C of
"warmth" here in Finland :D
