Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Finally got a working patch made (imr-renaming-patch.diff). This one
maintains a list of devices that it needs to monitor for name changes,
which is initialised on module load. Registration of interest in
netdevice events is also done on module load. I don't have any AHB
hardware to play with however, so I can't test the changes in if_ath_ahb.c
that mirror those in if_ath_pci.c
The list is modified in if_ath.c whenever a VAP or ath device is attached
or detached, and the function ath_rcv_dev_event() handles the removal of
old proc entries and the creation of new ones whenever an device which is
in the list has it's name changed.
