Johannes might have more to comment. Yeah, lib80211's stated purpose is to share code, but on the other hand code that mac80211 and fullmac drivers may need seems better suited in cfg80211 since lib80211 also ships a large code bit of crypto routines etc. that are just useless for this and mac80211. johannes --=-4e+iICh1bhcR33gDmts1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABAgAGBQJKFR0uAAoJEODzc/N7+QmahQEP/RGugb4OXoB0xPao+TvnjpV/ ukY7HM0DYezDj1aRLZEgBLA3h17ttVG4KwytN6nS+Z+uycIJ+PrH5m8sb4FFFHye 7/UwGf8KLaJBNe1vRYigX1t8iW77EgPvbVd/T3x6Y0GYMw1Hyo+5xBnf3IltyzKt gDulLUCL1BzY3r45II6A2JRkQ5u7/ldq+1mnuWta0kTkyTyhjNBPZJIHoDVE0M+M OLXVYoeoAtEZZfG45iVr6cT3L653e2SFJyWt1GBsbiQ9CNPBOAto46jwv/Vxsaci X04e+Jf/DfPf30YuVf0UfttnjToCU5JcZilh/amrRHw3C54yCfTtVexjHTsYDNAr xAlSyDwoo+ugHrqSCmI6EpySPhFojBQT0kM/UJWCzzhNFMPNa6b9gA4jLlttegSI IK7ApQf9ycD/V9PZvB1ScoX23qqPoedF9hNS0IOVbt4h1j9OqoqY56ZWGG61bkpf sqo1ietJc3gLEx5weHeFVLRqKtZ6V4jXuY13hU3dt8oRSlHjtlCnjyUE8EwHAZTj JqU2mljld//LCc6gwZ/EVvd1QUwMrYVah2vmORu/cOpL9uEb0NO4vahF794P91uK BCzszC8pQYOqMMtYl1d6HpIJufM0OtKiJvo2Y7WaNdzuzdsKZ8zCMYAYNS3U1pp7 9nSnQfgEzDFklETAQLsr =RsjN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-4e+iICh1bhcR33gDmts1--
