thanks

I am reassigning this to linux-wlan-ng. Dealing with linux-wlan-ng is a
pain for me but also for users. Joey Hess refused to realize that, but
bugreports m-a BTS page collects tell something different.

I wrote a patch for linux-wlan-ng (see some archived bug report that the
new maintainer closed without a real solution) to behave like other
module-source packages do. I wrote even a script to work around its
special way of instalation. However, I have no motivation to maintain
that crap any more, and something changed since I wrote the
linux-wlan-ng control script in m-a.

Regards,
Eduard.
