Hmm, I remember testing the eraly iwlwifi stuff because I wanted that damn bith running on my HP nc6400 notebook these days (iwl3945). Following the wireless ML made a real fun for me and I will allways associate "linux-wireless" with "John W. Linville". So life is change, I had some hurtful/wretched experiences the last two years.

If I remember testing early wireless stuff I pulled this order... mac80211 -> wireless -> net (Git trees) Can you explain why mac80211 separate from wireless stuff? - Sedat - -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
