I've significantly reworked some MAC addr stuff, including forcing the module to request the MAC addr from the hardware and using that to set the addr before the calls to setup mac80211. I'm now working on getting it all up to head, so patches should be coming soon. Actually, on that note, how would you prefer I get them to you?

Ah, ok, but that's the thing I was worried about ... if you're now giving it the MAC address before setting up the mac80211 stuff, you should be fine (and we can remove the workaround from mac80211, yay) > I'm now working on getting it all up to head, so patches should be > coming soon.

Sounds like a lot of stuff... John will have to answer that. I think posting it piecemeal as much as possible would probably be preferable. johannes ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

If you can separate it into a few sub-series that might be nice, but don't sweat that too much. John -- John W.
