None of this reasoning is specific to the STOP_AP event, and I'd hate us adding it one by one... I still think there isn't all that much reason to have it (if userspace really needs the names so badly it could also subscribe to the rtnetlink and keep a table of index/names!), but I could get behind a refactoring of all these places (I count at least 10 events that include the wdev id) to combine the four lines in the patch below into a single helper. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
