OK. I really thought nobody was using it, but we can of course revert it for Fedora's benefit, it's optional anyway. FWIW, for most drivers you could check if the sys/class/net/$1/phy80211 symlink exists, but that doesn't work for older wext-only drivers (or say the crap Broadcom binary STA driver.) Should I revert it and send it in my next pull request? johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
