Yes, ok, that makes sense then. I suppose we'll then have to "rewrite" the peer link establishment in userspace once we want to work on that but I think it's fine to have it in the kernel too for basic mesh functionality, we need to shake out the userspace MLME first (though it shouldn't be too much work any more.) johannes --=-34SS6mhm/pO0+6M4FXi9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iQIVAwUAR6/++6Vg1VMiehFYAQLuvxAAl9LbdWimm/iOz59u7KCA00FFBJakC1YH LKZmt9VXp7Z+96gIKZWGpmsgadJ6+QDxMcETIcoQg/Riq8gtam8kcyTaLb+GsxQT rDtNtZ1u8JVDAtQGxiMMcqzecy8lJf3kkKkut/tAl7CtTPePmTQVfQK4fbtwfQ/k L5JHCcPWA1IVWLCYZPPojQyfHj9Iq4dr4hQNI9SXu3HumniVQ1HsgR8Mgp0wDPG8 ZvPaS8LEBaqfqMCfzsXdk69GuMfPeGMCyl5FPVlyGjHfxb+VtseNlazewSgeGnsZ Wl/2IYtcM1F/mnoVCBef2S4CzPAYGAmZI6LqsgarTfqEc2ui7FUsrB+1MBP8B5/N 70GbR1wO0lzS0mBcRW4u0d63EHrggwRgLnzu56E+j/LoufYKmoDZvg8SETLaIuhh QTfDZthuaFTxx3dalA3ThuBwMZE8ZJ3qJhac+onQSF9VIHvFA/favXmGEjKFfSgR FEfF8QelHzIV5u7rI1hNWEkA36NhMMOpe0wtskUiQt3RiyEJ1Hq25FUNlPL9xRjU 8ndMfBEYgNzYwOgrSRtvhjt3S3MsnG0m6fHnMLCE4jqVGLuMxIJBksbfiAks+UPV NwG3ZMVLAWJIH6ThqT9rZu6tCmqcdk+QLglu19/khkuJ/2oCNLSFcBr7Os2DXA9I NAIGKfJkcaA= =mmSo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-34SS6mhm/pO0+6M4FXi9--
