I understand your concerns but, please, cope with reality: the clock work is not in -next so this tends to make me think it won't reach 3.11. We're at -rc6 after all. Telling users that their system doesn't have any network because it was easier to maintain, is not something they will understand imho. Regards, Arnaud
