Well if you want to push the mesh wext bits through to cfg80211 (temporarily) you wouldn't even need to depend on WEXT. I'd prefer, however, to not do this, and just use the cfg80211 wext handlers in libertas and depend on WEXT for now. johannes --=-3shGXhT5yV3ACvOsNHW4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABAgAGBQJK4dw7AAoJEODzc/N7+QmaudEQAJ+fQkSXfFEn7Y/wgFtVWtJY XDmWWQfZDgc+aEmrieHVzz14t1TG1hFvyednLfhZ8081erQbPqT4CD3gUcxg/tZ3 Sv6skCTBOzl1Vf+p/9RugJefakf9cLorTxrDTFzrlWdeu5maOuyz8H2HJvGbc2/1 Jvkop7/ZdcAcgB/QdZ/S00OWh3fArYymadJ3PQta4sMUhmBZuMA4F8oUZYaTcLfJ dMzaFGB0VEQqD+/aWT6LroBAhsoq7NTdCzGmhhuz75aegYDnVB/w35uRaNmDIbmP CxGIQKvLxQHodwMGBIo9EH0BWf5zXBL6RUslxLxkcRvMLQo0QknacJiGPFsW+dXL FaFRENqiDMVtzoTrneKLO4pDpKTbtV+DxFg67TIMMo6Wud6mN82rQKrWZTcGGGE0 OKiEECFRR8shPe3iRx4fBKKeNn83fDb8fz1TlbhY4ox2jR2FJynIBtWu4LeGJSvB tmhI8TeCbRJXhcywNicWWnZj8NTtfg89Us/PqKq1tNNceP1fF84g1GmrFxHyQRw5 cw7a9M62PXMUNoyq+d+amD+2cohi+cOPod3F9obvEmGuo4wcfJfA8gd8ysfTOEXj jp0zci62kRRgRKKMGcx0Nz2eEEiGlt36ygHEyaZx/0JgX0dUpPjG28mpTHDV/+sB JR5mp3kIqDizzOvwPr6/ =V5Xi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-3shGXhT5yV3ACvOsNHW4--
