I hope not, please work on fixing the driver up to work properly (i.e. not with this type of stuff...) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-wireless in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
