My confusion arises from the fact that, as far as 802.11 concerns, I know only that it is a family of standards that have to do with the lower two of the seven layers of the OSI protocol. I really don't know more than this: I cannot tell the difference between CFG/LIB/MAC80211. I simply thought that they are complementary (each to the others) and that I should have removed "This work is currently..." without mentioning the cfg80211 task to not have someone to duplicate your work in progress. Fabio Aiuto is right in guessing that I took those tasks from another TODO file. Finally, I want to remember to you that (ahead of v1) I had asked Maintainers to do or help with doing this list and I clearly wrote that I didn't know what those tasks are and whether or not they are required. I hope this message clarifies what I did and why. Thanks, Fabio
