Makes sense, thanks. > Experiments were also less reliable when WEXT was enabled. So this patch > also disables WEXT when using defconfig-hwsim to make the default more > reliable for users. > Huh? How so? Maybe some other tool was present on the system that was using wext, and disabling wext made that tool no longer detect the wireless or so? I cannot see how else it would be "less reliable" with wext enabled, if you don't really use it. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe backports" in
