Re: [RFC] Wireless extensions rethink

[Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxx>]

Coming into this with my lateness exceeded only by my lack of context, I'd
say that I share Jean's concern over making incompatible changes to the
wireless user<->kernel interface at this time.  If we can retain _both_
interfaces in 2.6, remove the old one in 2.7 then maybe that'll be OK.

But I do wonder whether this API is the uppermost issue with the wireless
drivers.  There seem to be a lot of bug reports, and these drivers are
*really* complex, and there are lots of out-of-tree drivers.  Aren't these
the things which we should be devoting cycles to?
