Subject: Re: [PATCH 6/8] [PATCH] Split up rndis_host.c

Hello,

Bjorge was not comfortable with double probing rndis_wext requires,
wireless RNDIS devices have same device id as the rest of RNDIS. Our
module version checks OID_GEN_PHYSICAL_MEDIUM in generic_rndis_bind,
with rndis_host bind fails if OID is supported and wireless media type
is returned, with rndis_wext if OID isn't supported or type isn't
wireless. Should this be ok?

Should separate rndis_wext be located in drivers/net/wireless instead of
drivers/net/usb?
