Re: [PATCH] iw: Allow basic rates to be configured when joining mesh

[Ashok Nagarajan]

Hi Johannes,

I am changing the API for mesh join here as per our recent discussion,
which is to accept basic-rates only when passed the 'freq' attribute.
I was wondering what would be an acceptable style in iw to convey this
to user.

1. mesh join <mesh ID> [freq in MHz [HT20|HT40+|HT40-|NOHT]
[basic-rates <rate in Mbps,rate2,...>]] or
2. mesh join <mesh ID> [freq in MHz] [HT20|HT40+|HT40-|NOHT]
[basic-rates <rate in Mbps,rate2,...>]

Note the nested brackets in style 1.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Ashok

Honestly? I don't really care. The first might be clearer, but it
doesn't matter all that much to me, I don't use mesh anyway ;-)
