Summary: Wireless lan modules/stack lacks MII support
Product: Networking
Version: 2.5
KernelVersion: 2.6.*
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: low
Priority: P1
Component: Wireless
AssignedTo: networking_wireless at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
ReportedBy: rene at Bartschnet.de
Hi,
I don't know whether this is the right way to go for a feature request, so
please point me to the right address if I'm wrong at bugzilla of kernel.org.
A big drawback in kernel 2.6.x is the missing MII (Media Independend Interface)
support for wireless devices. Because of that it's often not possible to do
link detection on wireless lan devices (e.g. necessary for the bonding module
or fail-over setups).
So, please make it possible to query at least the link state by MII interface
in some generic way with the new 802.11 stack.
Have Phun with Linux ;-)
