yup ;)

The bug is in Jeff's tree only
(git+ssh://master.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git#ALL)
so I wanted to perform the bisection on the git-netdev-all branch.

So I did a `git log git-netdev-all' and looked at where the ipw2200 changes
were and then decided that the 2.6.16-rc1 and 2.6.16-rc2 commits straddled
those changes nicely, so I chose those as the bisection starting points.
