Why is it not a part of some generic subsystem under wireless network subsystem? -- This driver is instantiated only when the BIOS on given host exposes ACPI node corresponding to the BIOS SAR.

the problems I see here: 1. the device uapi is very vendor specific 2. its unclear for which air interface is the data really retrieved ? 3. unclear how userland this should really handle in a generic way --> how does it know which device to tune ? 4. does it really need to be (non-portable) ioctls ? by the way, who hat that funny idea putting such information into acpi in such a weird way ? --mtx -- --- Hinweis: unverschlüsselte E-Mails können leicht abgehört und manipuliert werden !
