Linux 2.6.6-rc2

[Linus Torvalds]

Most of the _bulk_ of the rc1->rc2 changes is in the MIPS update, but
there's a number of merges here too, notably some networking, firewire,
irda and bluetooth updates. Oh, and the regularly scheduled network driver
updates too, of course..

The summary gives more of an idea of what changed,
