This is a reminder for thoses who want to use madwifi with a 2.6.29 kernel
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=95211

This kernel is moving to the updates-testing repository, At the same
time the madwifi-kmod won't build for 2.6.29 kernel.

So If you have a fixed spec, please submit it on review and I will
transfer ownership to you for the madwifi and madwifi-kmod.
On the other side, i do'nt think it will really be needed, everyone
should use ath5k/at9k by now.
