It's kinda a side effect of having "I support P2P-Device" also mean "I want P2P-Device to be used", but for everything other than hwsim that seems like the only reasonable choice, so ... I wouldn't mind changing the default in hwsim though to not support/desire P2P-Device w/o a configuration option or so. johannes -- 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
