We do today :-) Yes, I know why you want this for iwlwifi, but this commit message isn't good. And if you had a good commit message, you'd know that it's actually only needed for iwlwifi, not for basically anyone else. And, in fact, it's not even needed for iwlwifi because if you had WoWLAN then the firmware stays running and you don't need it. > Purge all the data. We age it already since commit cb3a8eec0e66. That should be sufficient for most devices. And in fact, if it weren't, then this should have removed the ageing that's now completely pointless :) > Export this function to allow driver to purge the BSS table > in case they feel the need to. > iwlwifi will need to do that. I think we should just have a patch to purge it, without the call in sysfs.c, and do then iwlwifi can call it in the right places (when it resets the firmware.) Note this won't even be _perfect_ because there are reasons (like being connected) that mean the entry is not removed even when flushing, so that should probably be documented. johannes
