Subject: [PATCH] rt2x00: Block adhoc & master mode
Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2007 14:39:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200710281439.53115.IvDoorn@gmail.com> (raw)

rt2x00 is broken when it comes down to adhoc and master mode.
The main problem is the beaconing, which is completely failing.
Untill a solution has been found, both beacon requiring modes
must be disabled to prevent numerous bug reports.
