This makes no sense at all. If udev should avoid applying names to wifi-P2P devices, that policy can be instituted completely inside of udev. There is no need whatsoever for kernel support. udev can look at the device type, and policies can be defined that key off of that device type, entirely in userspace. I'm not applying this patch series, sorry. -- 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
