Ah, looks like I didn't dug thoroughly enough.
Anyway, this means my BUG proved the patch's claim wrong :o), at least
one atomic gremlin is left:
ieee80211_sta_timer ->
ieee80211_sta_find_ibss ->
ieee80211_sta_join_ibss ->
ieee80211_ioctl_siwfreq ->
ieee80211_hw_config
Anyone already an idea how to fix it?
Jan
