I've been threatening to do this for a while. Since I've recently pulled from everyone, the incoming patch rate is slow this week, and we are getting close to being in -mm, now seems as good a time as any to do it... I've changed all references in wireless-dev from d80211 to mac80211 and from D80211 to MAC80211, including renaming files and directories appropriately. If you have outstanding patches, please account for this change. Filtering them through sed should do the job nicely: cat old.patch | sed -e 's/d80211/mac80211/g' \ -e 's/D80211/MAC80211/g' > new.patch I don't think it would have been appropriate to keep the old name, with its veiled reference to its origin but no real meaning to the uninitiated. I think the mac80211 name is more indicative of the component's function, and it matches the naming motif we are using for cfg80211 and nl80211. I apologize if this seems sudden, but I don't really think doing it with a lot of warning would have been any better. So, I made the decision and did it. Please don't complain unless it is just unbearable for you. :-) The patch has been pushed to wireless-dev, and hopefully will be available by the time you read this. Thanks, John P.S. The actual patch is too large to post here. It is available on www.kernel.org: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/linville/wireless-dev/master/0738-wireless-rename-d80211-mac80211.patch -- John W.
