Well, you probably can't get it in a scripted fashion from the doit callbacks. The policy certainly has the first level information, but as soon as you have nested information it will no longer work. The policy also doesn't always cover data fram the kernel (i.e. kernel->userspace encoding) since the kernel doesn't have to verify that. 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
