What cruft? This? # grep -r WIRELESS_EXT . ./pci.c: ndev->name, WIRELESS_EXT, UTS_RELEASE); ./common.c: "Wireless extension version:\t" STRING(WIRELESS_EXT) "\n" ./acx_struct.h:#ifdef WIRELESS_EXT ./acx_struct.h:#if WIRELESS_EXT > 15 ./ioctl.c: range->we_version_compiled = WIRELESS_EXT; I consider this to be a really modest amount of compat code which makes driver users happy (that fraction of it which is not willing to run -mm). However, I would remove even that at Jeff's or Andrew's request, or without anyone's request if acx will be merged to Linus tree. -- vda
