I know, but there was little choice. The error paths for device recovery depend on those changes. That's why I suggest posting through gregkh's tree once you guys give your approval. Then after it goes into the first merge window and it permeates to your tree, I'll rebase the linux-wimax tree to have you as upstream. > Second, put the wimax stack stuff under net/wimax just like > we do for net/mac80211 et al. Then just the drivers go under > drivers/net/wimax Oh, good point. Will do. I'll send updated patches today. Thanks, -- Inaky
