This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Subject: Staging: rt2870sta interface names to my gregkh-2.6 tree. Its filename is staging-rt2870sta-interface-names.patch This tree can be found at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/patches/ >From efault at gmx.de Fri Jul 31 09:03:22 2009 From: Mike Galbraith <efault at gmx.de> Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2009 07:52:58 +0200 Subject: Staging: rt2870sta interface names To: devel <devel at driverdev.osuosl.org> Cc: Greg KH <greg at kroah.com> Message-ID: <1249019578.21447.13.camel at marge.simson.net> The rest of the known universe prefers wlanN for wireless interface names, to the point that some distro configuration tools, such as opensuse's Yast, don't even allow the user to enter a name, and simply pre-select "wlan".
