Hi sephe,
your patch installs and runs nicely on my thinkpad t42 (iwi).
Thank you for testing!
No negative effects so far. What problem is it supposed to fix?
iwi(4)/ipw(4) code assumes that if ieee80211_newstate() (e.g.
iwi_softc.sc_newstate()) is not called with certain IEEE80211_S_, then
mgtq will not be touched, while 802_11 layer does not know that these
two drivers have such an assumption. This kind of things probably
will bite us in the future ;]
Best Regards,
sephe
