- Shortlog ------------------------------------------------------------ This feature patchset includes the following changes:

- 6 patches adding functionality to detect a WiFi interface under other virtual interfaces, like VLANs. They introduce a cache for the detected the WiFi configuration to avoid RTNL locking in critical sections. Patches have been prepared by Marek Lindner and Sven Eckelmann

- Enable automatic module loading for genl requests, by Sven Eckelmann

- Fix a potential race condition on interface removal. This is not happening very often in practice, but requires bigger changes to fix, so we are sending this to net-next. By Linus Luessing
