Hi,
while testing the rt2x00 driver, I found the following inconsistency
(don't know wether this is considered a bug).
If you already have a netdevice named wlan0, but no corresponding
wlan0.11 or wlan0ap device, you'll get the following devices while using
the dscape 802.11 stack:
wlan1, wlan0ap and wlan0.11
I would have expected wlan1, wlan1ap and wlan1.11.
The following patch fixes this inconsistency, but I'm not sure about the
side effects this patch could have.
Bye,
Matthias
