Great; I confirm it works (besides the pb you describe below).

I looked into to your conversation at linux-wireless to get an idea what you have done. I understand that the way the subsystem/driver works does not satisfy you, but also that your patch is beyond the specification. I can't and will not decide yet, if we should even add it to 5.0-alpha, but IMHO it's not a good idea to apply it to the stable version, being in maintenance mode. kp kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
