Sure, we can add the member in the struct back, and just never look at it since we've removed user claiming anyway. But that's not the interesting part -- the thing is the rfkill rewrite. I don't know how to handle that w/o breaking all users. I had hoped to finish this very soon to be ready early in .31, but I'm still waiting for Thinkpad and Toshiba conversions (and I forgot who wanted to look at Toshiba), but if new users are being added in other trees then that's a problem. johannes --=-XvaBafj8MpfgH4fQu9xB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJJ7xyVAAoJEKVg1VMiehFY6WcP/jU8Bu2xN1P8j3XbyAIIXowF dzHK7Q2mZqwW7ulCMqDBkUQ2C4ikv0PJU2xGOyStjOvQvSUehdugDbXz96G3lDg6 U1gOrd2hCQlKOBGsYmegs8j6jk4ROrYB47Tz5xfCwfMrNMU6l5GkMVreRzapuORH XlncRmQPy1A56jewlz2YaELRr7o/PjyvA1OtT6PZ5OJ5Ql8n9vt+kq5egn3ecYM1 hc19UW/yeg/voe7D9gPjfXpzxH7/Wf1YECyODn6Fk5Z9OhIV2LBu01CyjrcioqAX J6WHga4mnqAIFpCbV4yAL+7VfeI/KMDiF9r7ax+Lt21ADrKjPxn68KJDqSIUl+qy ux7oWKo+xy/uiyx6mEUwtaBLOjfgF4vsJY2ewZkZFyEjkKKcL75Gh7T7KKh5L3Io GjYVsbozp/jo/BkSYY4V0JD2+Y1QvvVLdrYYFLek/dD4/reZWO2fsz4NAeVgtYG1 JP9YlF4Z2XKP3NLy8fXKYoHVyhvivWxbZBLFp+jtq9djEzw0onNgrGvWkGUSLDuw Jleuxmni/a/TeFZgM8Wqm3sC9W0L8cjGq/w9DhRAtUauinCk8BAe+c0SjQDaRIcQ yjuFlg1PlOS90lQFkjhIOnkahFmC1YF+DLSVs+CM4rxM0MaIqwkF3houw0jRkwfx veesXczOeWuT0m5OzdPq =Wibn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-XvaBafj8MpfgH4fQu9xB--
