Almost perfect, but it needs one minor change.

Please send this as a v4 patch with a little note here:

v4: Fix crypt_info leak
v3: Fix more leaks.  Break it up into multple patches.
v2: Make rtllib_softmac_init() return error codes.

You can probably put that in the 0/3 email.

This needs to free crypt_info;  This was my mistake in the email I sent
earlier.  Sorry!

Something like:

free_softmac:
	rtllib_softmac_free(ieee);
free_crypt_info:
	lib80211_crypt_info_free(&ieee->crypt_info);
	rtllib_networks_free(ieee);
free_netdev:
 	free_netdev(dev);
