Subject: [RFC] mac80211: assign needed_headroom/tailroom for netdevs
Date: Sun, 04 May 2008 23:24:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1209936253.7304.10.camel@johannes.berg> (raw)

This assigns the netdev's needed_headroom/tailroom members
to take advantage of pre-allocated space for 802.11 headers.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>

Builds on my other patch to add those fields, of course!
