I have been running this change on my boxs, without CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED since last July or so. But I don't use NetworkManager here for the most part, but I have tried this in the OpenSuse10.3 alpha releases and it seems to work just fine with whatever version of NetworkManager it uses. So perhaps it's some wrapper scripts somewhere? I think SuSE had some odd things hard coded somewhere that prevented 10.1 from working properly with this change. Ok, so I'll drop the HAL wording above, what should I say instead? thanks, greg k-h - 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
