Whoa, sorry, misread that. Actually airo.c doesn't change net_dev->type 
at all, does it ?

It's the merlot that does it.


There are a handful of drivers is the kernel/drivers/new/wireless/ 
that do play with it, but they seem to do it in an ioctl context, which is 
what i am doing, so maybe its somthing not setup or setup differently on the 
det_dev structure?
