To have a master device which isn't represented by a network device (ifconfig doesn't show it etc.) but can be accessed only by the wireless tools. Or just using sysfs, echo and cat can be best tools. The slaves (netdevs) can be created and deleted at will. No obscure netdev with no apparent functionality and nothing special in the first, last or whichever netdev. -- Krzysztof Halasa - 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
