Well. You say that it works with your AP and without my patch, but not with the patch. I'd say it works by pure luck. I don't think my patch changes any semantics. It just properly protects some parts from racing. Maybe you actually benefit from these races and softmac magically "races you the correct result" ;) Or do you notice something that changes semantics? -- Greetings Michael. - 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
