Also the "ieee80211" prefix is used in libipw messages, and should be replaced as well. However, one thing may need to keep the original name. If CONFIG_LIBIPW_DEBUG is enabled, /proc/net/ieee80211 is created. Perhaps it would be unhelpful to break that user interface for aesthetic purposes. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
