Except that they can't be built-in if mac80211 isn't, and we've repeatedly had users f' up their installations and bitterly report to us that mac80211 doesn't work because no rate control algorithm is available so we wanted to force having one built into mac80211.ko unless specifically turned off (only with EMBEDDED). johannes --=-sNszd3ni3H8Zgjt02s6u Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iQIVAwUAR3tOKqVg1VMiehFYAQIOmRAAry73rAB/lkY9pCYNtY6Tz3FL8XwZcwck 4vkkggoI6ao5obuJhYIufyQdiEaACZlvPZ/CwTLF3i4NOwMhCIRz7k1FBN8jyVQ6 NDAWnu0zkYSVqkSWTheP33mBXJfHS65gNVME+3VdILq/K6wy8UVcFXbiNhXwGUvY Sj/J0rqucwlHqUaTa3OkKfbINlotGueil6mLz/VJUt+Em3s3r0mLc7Gs01Lyx6sS JL4gpNZq993TXJtvvtPiHBpzzGmGFjOYdsHlvbZi1x1yUyuK02fAggldnZPL55zC gCtLbnhFAL8D5WAAmPSjMC28egyZWhQgRroHgi/R+uIlhYYO9wu8Mi4Htt+NssqG rJsL5DTW5xS53m3XMh+OJ44ZHB5inH7vc3lwu4LERRg7dzRNfdgQ+FgwGQGIC/0e 4NXg/jZkUCKSr81MWimcQXE/n0YNdmC3JYe+6YMNGZo2/sD4PXeeuL6xIbqDq20e IGddwiihPFwMWz/yPCsxED5qgP5K4rq28yO7Ls8x9S2mE5LT46I4cU6I1E30xkQy uIiIClxoeHpLyCGgS2YcZFgo4NCiergF0u6ZEoxnhAh25wuTcXBIYvFvDu3K4CEF CfEC2Uzl12Jnjqh4BZJJVyeFW+b/Nf4JuxJsN+3xkBVfiI5TBd/uGelDsZVXld9c 5WjZk20fnsE= =1owF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-sNszd3ni3H8Zgjt02s6u--
