As some might have seen already on the cvs-* mailinglists, we have started the preparations for the 7.1-release build. That means that the 7-STABLE branch is renamed to 7.1-PRERELEASE and finally gets branched at some point after which it will be 7-STABLE again.
DO NOT PANIC if you read this in your kernel after updating today. It’s nothing to worry about. We are trying to get a new release out soon, please headsup for that. Bring along your towel if you are really afraid 
Remko, is there any chance for having iwn driver backported from 8.0-CURRENT to 7.1-RELEASE. Intel 4965AGN driver is very frequent now, e.g. in laptops, and its hard to live without it. So unless the driver panics the kernel, I support its backporting… (even if there are some minor flaws).
Petr,
I think you should ask Benjamin Close (benjsc@) about the status of this driver.
He also brought in the wpi (Intel 3945ABG) driver.
iwn(4) had been imported by Sam Leffler, as far as I was able to see. I asked him whether this could be merged to stable/7 either by him or by myself if he approves that.
We’ll see how that goes

I second the iwn driver. Congrats on the impending release.
Remko, thanks very much for talking to Sam on this. Let us know if there’s some progress there.

I’ve backported the driver to 7-STABLE, and it works nicely for me.
