This is somewhat confusing parameter for disabling both transmit and receive (or the whole MAC for that matter). Other than that, I don't really have anything against using this for what the adm_status was used as long as the 'on' option returns the previously used TX level without user space program having to set it again. I haven't looked at what the current drivers are doing in this case. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
