Renaming a driver always creates madness. For example, even now people and projects (e.g. Kismet) refer to "madwifi-ng", but there is no madwifi-ng anymore, because this beast has been renamed to madwifi. If possible, use names that can stay. Peoples grey cells, projects, and webpages don't then suffer from bitrott. > > 4.

A gread, even more renames :-( _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
