Mark the drivers experimental, not the common code. I think the issues affecting WEXT in non-mac80211 drivers by cfg80211 were fixed in December or so. But anyway, it's better to have "experimental" mac80211 in the kernel than no mac80211 at all. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin - 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
