Artem can confirm, but we'll need this as long as the wifi drivers are not converted to provide Brussels callbacks.. we're working with the wifi team to eliminate the wifi ioctls and replace them with Brussels callbacks.. > e.

I would still vote in favor of keeping them.. as Artem pointed out it helps with providing mdb support for finding what customizations were done when we are looking at a crash dump. This was one of the big complaints about ndd- that we can't figure out this information from a crash dump easily. --Sowmini _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
