Re: Module name - recommendations/opinions sought

Yes, wlan was my first choice, cimply because that is the name of the 
config attribute.

But it seems a consensus is emerging that the module name should be 
"net80211" so that's what I'm going to do (assuming I figure out the 
link_set issue).

I'll leave the rototilling of the config files for another day.
