From 22bb1be4d271961846cd0889b0f8d671db773080 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:16:47 +0200 Subject: wext: make sysfs bits optional and deprecate them The /sys/class/net/*/wireless/ direcory is, as far as I know, not used by anyone. Additionally, the same data is available via wext ioctls. Hence the sysfs files are pretty much useless. This patch makes them optional and schedules them for removal.
