[PATCH][3.16 MAYBE?] b43: don't warn about no 5 GHz support on 2.4 GHz devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This could be a bit confusing to see warning about lacking support for
5 GHz band if your device supports 2.4 GHz only.

John: even I was quite confused to see this warning on my BCM5357. I
suspected b43 incorrectly detected my WiFi as 5 GHz capable. I think
that proposed behavior makes more sense.
Do you think it's OK/worth to take it for 3.16?
