I hope that it was thought out well between DaveJ, dwmw2, and jgarzik, because it may be a mistake, like you said. The question is, how probable. I have to say, I am not familiar with the code yet enough to know how different softmac and devicescape are. Thanks for not proposing the inclusion of madwifi at least... Something had to be done. I say, just include one, no matter which. I am sick of the uncertainty and external modules. -- Pete -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
