I haven't heard about anyone planning to implement them or needing them. But that doesn't imply any decision, of course. > If the answer is yes, I'm OK with a patch like yours going in.

Well, it could be argued that if anyone really needs that functionality he will sure notice that it is missing even without the kernel messages. > If you want to shut up an application regarding this, I suggest to > write a wrapper-ioctl which is then used with LD_PRELOAD, if you provide > the source and makefile, I'm willing to compile it in my F10 VM for > you. I am not sure if I want these complexities (at the moment). I can just keep the patch to myself :-) > Out of curiosity: what is skype doing with direct wlan calls? No idea. It seems that it tries to get a wlan name at the very least (maybe it's just a way to test if an interface is wireless). Maybe they explain why they do it somewhere. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
