Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: remove net-pf-16-proto-16-family-nl80211 module alias
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 14:22:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141113132252.GB1926@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1415882683.2021.3.camel@sipsolutions.net>
With the alias cfg80211 module is loaded on systems without the wireless
hardware when user-space use nl80211 to discover if there are wireless
devices, what is considered as resources wastage. On systems with
wireless hardware cfg80211 module will be loaded anyway.
