It just happens though that the two options are related to regulatory -- maybe then this should have a different name? I still don't see the need. What would you put under it in brcm[sf]mac? I certainly wouldn't see any reason to put anything under it in our driver since it's much simpler to . Also, the argument about distros doesn't really work that way, if there are users interested in something then the distros will certainly enable this (CFG80211_EXPERT) option to get something hidden behind it. 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
