Hi Dave: I'm playing with the recently released GPLed driver from Intersil for Prism Indigo/GT/Duette chips. They use netlink for communication between their userspace management tools and their driver. Currently it's patching extending MAX_LINKS and using channel 32. I'd like allocate a permanent channel for it. The patch below assigns channel 7 (which is currently unused) to it. Cheers, -- Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 is out!
