Please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches in any recent linux kernel source, section "12) Signing your work". This signed-off-by implies a "Developer's Certificate of Origin". If you don't do that, than maintainers *CANT* apply your patch, even if it is correct. They however could take your idea, and write something by themselves. And if the problem is simple enought, the actual code might be very similar to yours. But maybe you want to make life of maintainers easier, not harder :-) -- 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
