That's a bit more difficult to module option (module option is pretty much the blunt hammer and you can replace any behavior with any other bahavor with it, I think) as it makes the algorithm switch-able at run-time, and that might be a little more tricky as one has to probably stop a few things and restart a few things in the kernel... and I don't mean debugfs, although since it is already in debugfs it might be easier just to move that code out to general use. -- 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
