Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: fix for duplicate response for driver reg request
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 18:54:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1244512477-6804-1-git-send-email-lrodriguez@atheros.com> (raw)
As Pavel puts userspace can be stupid and should not
cause kernel crashes. In this case Pavel was able to
find a crash here but unable to reproduce. Either way
lets deal with this.
This should fix:
