My intention with the meeting is to form an actual proposal that all implementors can agree on. We can produce proposals, and even new standardized fields to no avail, as some implementors (especially OpenBSD) appear to be stuck with implementations that collide with the standard. These implementors need to be "awakened" and entered into the discussions before anything can be done. > > Your own proposal had technical flaws (and in my opinion tried to do too > much at a time) that you haven't addressed -- doing that would be much > more productive than any such meeting. What technical flaws are you trying to point out exactly? (The TX flags field? My point is that it's worthless to "standardize" TX flags by extending it and moving to "Defined fields" if noone is willing to implement it.) > > johannes > -- Vista: [V]iruses, [I]ntruders, [S]pyware, [T]rojans and [A]dware. :-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
