If that statement is correct (I have no knowledge so cannot judge),
that's nice. But I really meant to be able to test things that currently
don't work, and make sure they start working after whatever is needed is
implemented.

What to do with other hardware that support different mode of operation
(keep wext for a while, or switch everyone to nl if that just works
without regressions) would be a different topic.

(But I fully understand the overlap, and thanks for pointing this out.)


Cheers,
