Yeah, but that's impossible to code on top of the current wext structures I'd say. > - Is there any use of the control, if the frequency is not fixed?

Yes, they definitely could/should be moved into softmac, but when writing softmac I had no real incentive to do it because I didn't want to dig up the info for all the above points :) I was thinking of adding all the 'what is this ioctl supposed to do' things we came up with to the softmac or netdev wiki. Would that be good/useful, or should we just put it into that driver writers guide? johannes
