Subject: [PATCH 1/2] wireless: remove wext sysfs
Date: Wed, 16 May 2012 23:40:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120516214048.608319597@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20120516214017.936343357@sipsolutions.net
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
The only user of this was hal prior to its 0.5.12
release which happened over two years ago, so I'm
sure this can be removed without issues.
