A 10G DL_WIFI driver?! I don't even think you can guess what output is relevant based on the class of a driver. The PHY (or transceiver, or whatever) has to tell you what modes it supports. Nemo originally had a 'supported property' mask scheme so that h/w drivers could tell the framework what properties were actually relevent to them. Paul
