This was indeed true because it had freed some resources which was allocated on a wpan interface only. But we don't need this anymore, yes. I changed the ARPHRD and nobody screamed that his/her software doesn't work anymore. - Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wpan" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
