Subject: [patch] Staging: wlan-ng: still setting wrong data
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 08:21:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120228082146.GA31511@elgon.mountain> (raw)

In commit 1ca1a92cc6 "Staging: wlan-ng: memsetting the wrong amount of
data" I changed the code so we didn't memset() past the end of the
msg1.bssid.data[] array.  Walter Harms noticed that it was weird that
we were setting the len to 6 when there were 7 elements in the array.
Pavel Roskin pointed out that the intent of the code was actually to
memset() msg1.bssid.data.data[] which is a 6 character array.

I don't have a way to test this, but it does make more sense than the
original.
