Module name - recommendations/opinions sought
I'm in the process of modularizing the ieee80211 (Wireless LAN) code, and would like some feedback on what the module's name should be. I can think of at least three or four likely candidates: net80211 ieee80211 wlan wireless-lan I'm leaning towards the simplest one - wlan - but would like to know what others think before I commit. - | Paul Goyette | PGP Key fingerprint: | E-mail addresses: | | Customer Service | FA29 0E3B 35AF E8AE 6651 | paul at whooppee.com| | Network Engineer | 0786 F758 55DE 53BA 7731 | pgoyette at juniper.net | | Kernel Developer | | pgoyette at netbsd.org | -

Re: Module name - recommendations/opinions sought
I thought module names alway match what's define'ed in config(1) files... ... and now I've found it's wlan, which should be changed to a saner name like net80211.

Re: Module name - recommendations/opinions sought
Yes, wlan was my first choice, cimply because that is the name of the config attribute. But it seems a consensus is emerging that the module name should be net80211 so that's what I'm going to do (assuming I figure out the link_set issue). I'll leave the rototilling of the config files for another day.

There is a movement afoot to change that. I'll just say that I don't agree with changing that, but I don't feel like getting into yet another flamewar and certainly don't have time to do so, so I won't say anything else on the subject. }-- End of excerpt from Masao Uebayashi
