I tried quilt mail command for the first time and did not yet figure out how to do this. Replace-Subject line in the patch description seems to be doing exactly what is needed here, so I'll use that in the future. That seems to be leaving an extra line (that Replace-Subject:..) in the patch description. Is that something that should be removed from the description or is it okay to just leave it in as an extra line in the beginning of the description? PS. If I have a patch that modifies both Host AP (i.e., 'ieee80211-wifi' branch) and generic IEEE 802.11 code ('ieee80211'), is it okay to send a patch against 'ieee80211-wifi' branch or is something else needed to make it easy for you to merge such changes into netdev-2.6? I'm consider two options for merging Host AP with the generic IEEE 802.11 code. Previously, the main idea has been to just change Host AP driver to use generic code. In the current form, this would likely be a rather large change and would probably require breaking some parts of the functionality or require a large set of patches to be applied at once. Another alternative would be to just start from scratch (well, based on the existing Prism2/2.5/3 code in Host AP driver of course) with a new driver and first get client mode working since that is already included in the IEEE 802.11 code that ipw2x00 drivers are using. Once this is done, AP (Master) mode support could be added. This would allow the current Host AP driver to remain in fully functional form and would make it easier to do the changes in smaller pieces. Do you have strong opinion on how this should be done? -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
