I'm sorry, but did you PAY money to use hostapd? To the actual maintainers? There is a misconception that keeps happening; I saw it on the linux-wireless list a couple of days ago. Often people who use open-source software seem to think that just because they USE it means that they can make DEMANDS on maintainers. Maintainers are volunteers. The vast majority of which are not paid to do this work in any way. Sometimes their paid job in the past included some work that was in the area of what they maintain, but as often happens, they keep the maintainership up long after it is nothing but an interest. And demands make it an unpleasant thing to keep working on. This is how we keep losing maintainers. And furthermore, have you EVER seen documentation that actually matches reality? In my experience, it's usually out-of-date within moments of when it gets posted. Please feel free to do the work to figure out the correct figures (keeping in mind that of course it will be different on different architectures, configurations, and even compilers) and submit a patch against the website text. I'm sure the maintainers would be thrilled to update it if someone did so. To the maintainers of hostapd and linux-wireless: THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK, we appreciate you. - Steve _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
