[snip explanation] You misunderstood: I do remember discussing the hack, and it's still a hack but it works and I'm OK with it. However, you shouldn't be modifying a _global_ struct. You should at least copy the sband struct itself (array actually then), which can still refer to the global channel array, but then you don't modify global shared data for device-dependent properties like this. 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
