No, that's not true, zd1201 doesn't [1] :) Has anyoen ever complained about that? In any case, tools iterate all netdevs and call some wireless ioctl to check if they are wireless, or check /proc/net/wireless (which is actually bad, but ...). Besides, WE never said that names have to have certain names. What makes you think so? johannes [1] http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;h=36b29ff058141a712619e55184566b39ce414efd;hb=aefba081d7b7dfd1c5752f6e6e709d8b5ab80ab7;f=drivers/net/wireless/zd1201.c#l1790 - 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
