[arch-dev-public] Kernel 2.6.22 in testing

[Alexander Baldeck]

I have been saying this earlier and it's still true when I mention that 
madwifi is broken:

ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
ath_hal: 0.9.18.0 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)
wlan: 0.8.4.2 (svn r2435)
ath_pci: 0.9.4.5 (svn r2435)
low) -> IRQ 20
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64
MadWifi: HAL ABI mismatch; driver expects 0x7013100, HAL reports 0x6090700

Cheers,

-U
