Re: [Lcd4linux-devel] plugin_wifi ?

[Michael R. <re...@eu...>]

Hi there,

I see no problem if the same information can be read from two different 
plugins. In fact, the plugin_ppp does exactly this: it returns CPS rate 
which is the same as the info from /proc/net/dev

As you already have seen, plugin_netdev won't be obsolete because not 
all the information passed here is available via ioctl()

as for the 2.4/2.6 discussion: lcd4linux should be as independant from 
the kernel as possible. There are some dependencies (e.g. the format of 
some files in /proc) but I always tried to autodetect the format and 
support as many formats=kernels as possible.

I have a 2.6 up and running here, but some very important subsystems 
(e.g. USB or VMware) fail at the moment... Thats why I go with 2.4.

The "main" kernel for lcd4linux is 2.4 , and probably will be for the 
next months.

bye, Michael
