No need to mess with the kernel interface for that. I think now, provide a high-level command besides the low-level command= s is a good idea. We need it for the old wext interface anyway. Then we= xt can only call this command and don't need own intelligence. So than = it's only a foolish wrapper, like it should. Regards Alina --=20 Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger geh=F6rt?
