The changes decouple scanning from the net80211 state machine so any driver that uses ieee80211_new_state is affected: tubby% grep -l ieee80211_new_state */*.c ath/if_ath.c awi/awi.c ipw/if_ipw.c iwi/if_iwi.c ral/rt2560.c ral/rt2661.c usb/if_ural.c wi/if_wi.c I know how to convert ath and ral. iwi and ipw might not be too bad now that they've been changed to not abuse the state machine so much. awi, ural, and wi will break. ural might be ok after the new usb stack comes in but that's not clear. So I guess I'd take responsibility for ath and ral and want help with all other drivers. Sam
