Re: willing to work on a configfs interface

Hi,
I've got no real reason to work on configfs rather than cfg80211
beside loving the idea of configuring my wireless through a
filesystem... and also it seemed to be rather straightforward so I
thought it was a good way to enter linux kernel hacking. I have no
problem working on the cfg80211 API if it's what really needs work
now.

I'll take a look at the current todo-list.

Maxime.
