After the conversion to mac80211, some mac80211 bindings ended up in zd_mac, the others in zd_ieee80211. In 2.6.28, the two files were merged. -- Vista: [V]iruses, [I]ntruders, [S]pyware, [T]rojans and [A]dware. :-) -- 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
