Or leave WIRELESS_EXT at 20 and come up with a new way of versioning any future changes in WE.. Yes, having two different mechanisms for version number is ugly, but it could prevent userspace breakage. (And based on the other messages in this thread, it might be useful to include the userspace program's idea of the version in those new commands to allow multiple interface versions to be supported by the kernel). -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - 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/
