I really do not like the idea of requiring = any=20 more userspace involvement in the suspend process than needed. At least for= =20 ADM8211, all the data needed to restore the card properly is already stored= =20 somewhere for userspace (iwconfig) to query, so I don't understand how this= =20 is suppose to reduce bloat. All the data that is needed should already be=20 stored in the driver to support configuring the interface before taking the= =20 interface up. =2DMichael Wu --nextPart3534246.qZn2rRzACq Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEmskTT3Oqt9AH4aERAhzKAKCplAyFAM9XEsL+XZPVOkseWkYV5gCg0mHW RaReQO4dPN5QqRZfNZBBj4I= =PhO3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3534246.qZn2rRzACq--
