The original patch didn't simply drop subtraction of offset, it also modified defines in .h: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=127006884129062&w=4 It's Larry combined patch that you see in .34.2 and it indeed lacks changes in defines. We already explained that situation, Greg will revert it and apply correct patches instead. -- Rafał -- 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
