Aha, that's a good start. During the week I'll try to look at these, put my rubber stamp on them, and send them on to Jeff.
One thing I notice though (from your later ones, actually) is that you seem to be moving from current 2.6 to the CVS HEAD branch. That includes the orinoco_usb stuff, which I still don't think is done right and would rather not push. I know this is asking a bir of a favour, given how useless I've been at doing the update myself, but your patches would be much more useful if they aimed at the CVS "for_linus" branch.
