I think the reason is that iwlwifi doesn't explicitly test for interfaces it actually supports: static int iwl3945_mac_add_interface(struct ieee80211_hw *hw, struct ieee80211_if_init_conf *conf) { struct iwl_priv *priv = hw->priv; unsigned long flags; IWL_DEBUG_MAC80211("enter: type %d\n", conf->type); if (priv->vif) { IWL_DEBUG_MAC80211("leave - vif != NULL\n"); return -EOPNOTSUPP; } <snip> -- 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
