I'd expect them to actually break it into channels and assign channel numbers. Or whoever creates the hardware first does it, and those numbers then get adopted in the year-long specification process ;) Besides, if we really really really needed something else later for whatever weird reason, we could add a new attribute for those cases, and have it reject the channel attribute then :) johannes - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
