E-mail: jt@hpl.hp.com From: Jean Tourrilhes Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi Linus, I like to keep your tree and Alan's tree in sync, so would you mind applying this patch to your kernel. It contains : o Define wireless device private ioctl range to avoid name space collisions with stuff like 'mii-tools'. This is something I've done at the rerquest of David Miller, and I would like this in so that the various wireless driver can make the transitions early in 2.5.X. o Various benign update the wireless statistics to be more 802.11 compliant. I've regenerated this patch against 2.4.12 and fixed a spelling mistake. Thanks in advance... Jean
