This is great news! I'll keep by eyes peeled for the wireguard submission. Do note that net-next closes during the merge window, though, so you'll probably have to wait until after 5.5-rc1 is out the door to submit that (and so we'll get Wireguard with Linux 5.6). -Toke _______________________________________________ WireGuard mailing list [email protected] https://lists.zx2c4.com/mailman/listinfo/wireguard
