I don't care about those I don't read, but I would prefer to not have wireless staging drivers cross the wireless list which makes it seem like somebody is actually interested in those drivers. > I can provide a simple procmail rule if you really don't like this kind > of thing, but that seems pretty extreme... I can very well filter on my own, thank you; I'm more worried about the noise for random third parties who then infer that this is something that somebody is working on and that might be useful to work on for them. Neither of that is true for any wireless staging driver, they all require complete rewrites that can, imo, use the old code only for reference, not for implementation. johannes --=-D3nx8hRR5oBOMxklDAIO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJJtMNvAAoJEKVg1VMiehFYcy8P/i7rIj7k9gFx6Ig1IuSZL+zD nT40AZH6Xu+zk1jv4Rg3eVBkvqdh2LDRcocgvWTIegxMhHzR1b6KTeOqY4D1DfeS xQryrcw3LBf7F9g4NjBdpGZNPI4JBnIpxLHni9IDIRk/GRML/Y0SSdUJkjTmpGzz KpgVwzbPVgTz/8VT5JdRzFU87nDT6NTN7cCrRHW6usv8SdnEyh+0t7cyu3wfFLZV g9V3bv8u2V5Y9GRXmvYxnnSvcFjjmu7ohB7xbjI51JbtHOIkFTdnuNB+l9qMhERj jb/6r8+t58Lr/av+gdiwsU7IvZkR6606ZA6o08QCvKummFOe6oBwuqinC/ZcMLQA 4fHYruW3s9X3XwnjwcGtc0zmKVPJjatYsk5VvXf48XEViFCa5VsQsJKFn9kmjITn mbHs1n+lXYD12IRteODspWNHLfiS1/ZrRb369kIs76gCyNsgTi8OfiaeNXu1xGCd 1YJmOULzhNt14saVM92usvN6gPLQH44UpGv8xeRsl8WFBLGB1PVZVmg/OPZxtpds 3/B1RRMt6+pP2WSqxIuHMs3Fap3I4HMi2JKoVhjYD8xqdz+dKRL0aVle6+759EcE ISUjPMz99llTjnecRiO07euV/1NTvz3ZsUqNGUkThY4A/DoRUxE4EFglLNaULCBM ESe1FNujYNLG4zD53sRO =b52T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-D3nx8hRR5oBOMxklDAIO-- -- 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/
