I'm not entirely convinced that this is a good idea. Nor that, even if 11n devices were to implement it, they should all implementing their own code to update the HT capabilities. However, I suppose that nothing forces them to implement it, and when somebody does I can still complain when they put everything into the driver. johannes -- 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
