Message-ID: <20141113123313.GA1926@redhat.com> (sfid-20141113_133628_786084_BDEA3269) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: I've updated wireless code on RHEL and get complain that now cfg80211 and rfkill modules are loaded on machines that do not have wireless hardware. Modules are auto-loaded because NetworkManager send nl80211 messages to check if there are wireless devices in the system. Hence my question, can we revert commit fb4e156886ce "nl80211: Add generic netlink module alias for cfg80211/nl80211" ? Auto loading nl80211 does not seems to be necessary, if there are wireless devices nl80211 will be loaded anyway. Stanislaw
