I am working together with Darius on this Fujitsu WiMAX project. Darius - connection manager and me - driver. I gave this interface quick review and it looks like it should work perfectly. I plan to implement network discovery during next week on this interface. Will let you know if it fits as expected. _______________________________________________ wimax mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxwimax.org/mailman/listinfo/wimax
