Messages are too easy to ignore. Well, it would be more obvious to the user, but based on the comments on this thread, I'm not that sure that this new flag is really needed at this point. If the goal is to implement proper PS support in the driver, there should not be need for this type of flag. Only if it is clear that this won't work (i.e., hardware/firmware design issue that cannot be fixed), should this type of flag be considered. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA
