This is that way. But bcm43xx sets ethtool ops through bcm43xx_netdev_setup. Why not have rt2= x00=20 do the same? Then we won't have to go through all the trouble of adding=20 things to ieee80211_hw and ieee80211_register_hw to set things in net_devic= e.=20 This would work out pretty well for SET_NETDEV_DEV too. =2DMichael Wu --nextPart8133595.4Mdo3h3DHh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBFS8YDT3Oqt9AH4aERAubtAJ4oJLiI8psLiE6rdzMV8Z538OEavwCg2J70 BVH0WVI/7sQ5coS6uZAfPHE= =RDb7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart8133595.4Mdo3h3DHh--
