You took the quote out of the context :), Johannes meant that nobody has asked him how exactly he would like to see this functionality implemented, and the in the linked mail he outlines his proposal. Johannes, i know you're a busy man (no kidding, i understand you're doing serious work) and users should trust maintainers on their technical decisions, but i hope you can still spare a minute to explain me why my proposed way to use set_channel is wrong (as i'm yet to see any drawbacks). Working with real professionals like you is a great opportunity for me to learn and i appreciate it a lot. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercerpav@xxxxxxxxx -- 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
