My request is that you enable it. I personally have no need/use for ead. I expect someone who does to take care of it. Not only by sending an initial patch, but also offer to take on the maintenance (as co-maintainer of the package?). > > Because `ead' is a separate daemon, enabling this feature won't affect > the stability of the wireless daemon for current users of this package. > The README file of the project advises that the configuration option > `--enable-wired' enables this feature.
