Subject: [PATCH] wext: add back wireless/ dir in sysfs for cfg80211 interfaces
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:34:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1254130453.6583.22.camel@johannes.local> (raw)
The move away from wireless handlers the drivers assign
to wireless handlers being assigned by cfg80211 broke
the sysfs registration (the wireless/ dir went missing)
because the handlers were assigned only after sysfs
registration and thus the registration never noticed a
device was wireless.
Fix this by special-casing cfg80211-based devices, all
of which are required to have an ieee80211_ptr, in the
sysfs code, and also using get_wireless_stats() to have
the same values reported as in procfs.
