Subject: [PATCH 7/8] Add Wireless Extensions to rndis_host
Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2007 22:51:33 +0100

The bulk of this patch is the addition of a new file that
implements the wireless extensions for RNDIS devices.
The rest are some smaller changes to usbnet and rndis_host
to hook the wireless extensions into them:
* a private data pointer is added to usbnet.
* a callback is added to driver_info to signal link state changes.
* a physical medium type check is added to rndis_bind to check for
  wireless lan devices and turn on the wireless extensions.
* and finally a Kconfig option to enable/disable this all.

I'm basically fine with this, but I'll hold off any ack until the
issue with the preceding patch (6/8) is resolved.  That would boil
down to making this a standalone module, or knowing why that's not
such a good idea.

I'd prefer to see the usbnet core extension packaged separately
instead of buried in this patch.  :)

And I think a MAINTAINERS update for rndis_wext would be appropriate.
No way can I take care of that code!

(In fact, would you feel comfortable taking over rndis_host too?)
