Upstream does NOT know about this.  And they probably won't know, until
they get a real MX.

Subject: Two airo.c questions
User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.28i

Hi.

Is there a reason linux2.4/drivers/net/wireless/airo.c uses a limit of
16 bytes for the node nickname length?  Is it a hardware limitation?
Kernel uses IW_ESSID_MAX_SIZE which is 32, and iwconfig assumes this,
irc://irc.freenode.org/#wireless reports.  Indeed, iwconfig says:


# iwconfig ap0 nick `perl -e 'print "A" x 17'`     
Error for wireless request "Set Nickname" (8B1C) :
    SET failed on device ap0 ; Argument list too long.

# iwconfig ap0 nick `perl -e 'print "A" x 33'`
Error for wireless request "Set Nickname" (8B1C) :
    argument too big (max 32)

The code in question seems to be:

linux-2.4.28/drivers/net/wireless/airo.c:airo_set_nick:

        if(dwrq->length > 16 + 1) {
                return -E2BIG;
        }



Also, a bit more demanding question: is the answer to ``Why isn't
/proc/driver/aironet/ethX renamed when the device is renamed (ip link
set eth0 name foobar) -- ``Because you haven't sent a patch for that!''?


Cheers,
Jan.
