Actually, just as a note to all the others (talked to Jiri about it already), I think it's easier than thought since the code is so convoluted. The only purpose of the wmaster device appears to be to have an outgoing frame queue through the qdisc. Since we require the 802.11 qdisc to be installed at the root for all netdevices anyway, we could just as well hand the frame to it right away. I'll look into that later today. johannes
