Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 1/2] wifi: mac80211: update outdated comment
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 22:27:08 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110032703.180401-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107052845-failed-6.6-13e51269b665@kernel.org>
From: Kexin Sun <kexinsun@smail.nju.edu.cn>
[ Upstream commit b8a57b979a7c2069081ed0bf88a727b17d85ac96 ]
The function ieee80211_start_scan() was refactored and replaced by
__ieee80211_start_scan() in commit f3b85252f081 ("mac80211: fix scan
races and rework scanning"). Update the comment in
ieee80211_tx_h_check_assoc() accordingly.
Additionally, remove the broken gmane.org link in the comment.
