Well at the moment the cfg80211/nl80211 updates have had a great impact
on our CVS tree. So it is starting to look like we are going to drop our CVS
version if we don't find a backwards compatibility for vanilla kernels for it.
Working the other way around will have a negative (But as mentioned above
a probably unescapable) side effect. 90% of our testers use the CVS against
vanilla kernels, and I cannot see them swicthing to the wireless-dev tree.
So I could switch (it is already under consideration) but it will cost us a lot
of testers.. :(
Anyway, with the updated debugfs patch I'll have the versioning removed.
Ivo
