Subject: [PATCH] wext: include wireless event id when it has a size problem
Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:43:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1345812212-18778-1-git-send-email-arend@broadcom.com> (raw)
The wext code checks is the event data is within size limits.
When this check fails a message is logged with violating size.
This patch adds the event id to put us on the right track for
resolving that violation.

Maybe wext is not popular, but I found the change helpful debugging
so others may benefit from it. Still some wireless apps default to
it, eg. wpa_supplicant.
