Do we know what percentage that _should_ be? Do we have smolt data to support meeting that percentage? I suspect that this is just a waste of memory for most desktop (as opposed to laptop) users. Also, as someone pointed out it is still common practice for people to run the compat-wireless package of back-ported drivers (and the matching mac80211 components). This might make life more difficult for those users. (NOTE: these are not the typical "out of tree" drivers -- they are in-tree, just a different, later tree.) Finally, _if_ we build these in then we should probable build-in the crypto modules that mac80211 requests... > @@ -1299,7 +1299,7 @@ > # CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG_PACKET_ALIGNMENT is not set > # CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG is not set > > -CONFIG_IEEE80211=m > +CONFIG_IEEE80211=y > CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG=y > CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP=m > CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP=m This only helps two drivers, ipw2100 and ipw2200. I don't think this is worthwhile. And FWIW, I ACK all the non-wireless bits! :-) John -- John W.
