[PATCH] cfg80211: remove net-pf-16-proto-16-family-nl80211 module alias

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

 



With the alias cfg80211 module is loaded on systems without the wireless
hardware when user-space use nl80211 to discover if there are wireless
devices, what is considered as resources wastage. On systems with
wireless hardware cfg80211 module will be loaded anyway.
