My personal preference is to avoid module parameters when you can fix the defaults, and that module parameters should never be a workaround for fixing the default behavior. I don't think my above preference precludes module parameters: they can be useful as "extra debug knobs." But Kalle had a little more nuanced opinion here -- he didn't even want "debug knobs" for core 802.11 functionality, because (I may be paraphrasing) one person's "debug knob" easily becomes the next person's "required knob." Additionally, a mess of disorganized knobs can make maintenance difficult -- one can't really expect the average distribution to make a good selection on 100 different parameters; and for those that do tweak the parameters, it now creates a combinatoric mess to debug and triage user reports of "it's broken". I can respect all of those reasons too. Regards, Brian
