Subject: possible circular locking triggered from iw
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 11:11:10 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1234465870.30608.20.camel@rc-desk> (raw)
Running "iw dev wlan0 scan trigger" resulted in the message below. This
is on the latest wireless-testing and iw. It only happened the first
time I triggered the scan.
