Well, some people may use Atheros Turbo mode, but taken into account that this is a vendor specific extension and 802.11n will take care of similar enhancements in a standard way, I don't think there is much point in trying to maintain any level of support for these in mac80211. For this reason, most of the Atheros specific stuff was already removed and only some references to the special channels remained. I haven't bothered importing support for these into hostapd either. Consequently, I would just go ahead and remove all references to MODE_ATHEROS_TURBO, MODE_ATHEROS_TURBOG, and related functionality and comments from mac80211. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - 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
