Hello! gregkh-driver-network-class_device-to-device.patch, which briefly appeared in Linux 2.6.18-rc1-mm1 broke MadWifi, which is copying the physical device information from the master network device to the virtual network devices:
SET_NETDEV_DEV(dev, mdev->class_dev.dev); The same code exists in hostap. The patch is gone from 2.6.18-rc1-mm2, but I'd like to be prepared if it reappears. An easy solution would be to have GET_NETDEV_DEV macro. Then the drivers could do this: SET_NETDEV_DEV(dev, GET_NETDEV_DEV(mdev)); without having to worry about the internals of struct net_device. It should be done before class_dev is removed or in the same time. Should I send a patch? -- Regards, Pavel Roskin - 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
