Subject: [patch] rtl8712: don't just return -EFAULT in wpa_supplicant_ioctl()
Date: Sat, 06 Aug 2011 14:27:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110806142748.GC10373@mwanda> (raw)

There were some curly braces missing so the original code in
wpa_supplicant_ioctl() pretty much always returned -EFAULT without
doing anything.
