Does someone really have a patch which coverts all drivers to use thread IRSs? If so I'd like to see the wireless parts :)

No, nobody has a patch which converts all ISRs individually to threaded interrupt handling. Mainline allows selectively making individual interrupts threaded. The -rt patchset allows making *all* interrupts automatically threaded, with no individual changes to each one.

Ah got it -- thanks. And what is the tree where I can pull all this from to test?

See, for example, the 2.6.31-rt11 announcement.

The rt wiki http://rt.wiki.kernel.org is a good source of information as well, including links to the download site.
