Well, I guess it's a question of which userspace even uses it, and how it'll break. Perhaps we should modify the wext userspace API to allow 0-254, and add 1 to the value before passing it to the driver. That way, in wext it would be "compatible" with your expected behaviour, but internally we'd still use the 802.11 semantics. I'd accept a patch doing this, since you're the only one to ever even admit to using it (and still using wext) :-) Of course we should also fix the driver to treat it as # of transmission attempts rather than # of retries, since clearly that's required for the nl80211 API which is documented to do it like the spec. 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
