Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: re-join IBSS when privacy changes
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:03:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1258545823.30511.10.camel@johannes.local> (raw)
When going from/to a WEP protected IBSS, we need to
leave this one and join a new one to take care of
the changed capability.
