But this breaks, you'll be pushing some sort of extensible format down there.

Ok, well, I've removed it for now. johannes [1] it would have to be, I'm sure new frame injection requirements will come up at some point and we can't break old apps - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
