Yes, based on Johannes' feedback I'll drop this patchset and will rework it. Instead I will send patches which rename mac80211.h symbols one at a time (both from mac80211 and drivers at the same). Again this won't happen all in once, instead I will send few patchsets to make it easier for me. But this way we get to avoid the ugly mac80211-compat.h file. > I had trouble applying patch 5 -- maybe this is something that is > best handled with a pull request? Sure, if it's easier for you I can do that. -- Kalle Valo -- 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
