Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] ath9k: Add change_interface callback
Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2010 17:42:19 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1291723939-19262-2-git-send-email-rmanoharan@atheros.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1291723939-19262-1-git-send-email-rmanoharan@atheros.com>
Add support to change interface type
without bringing down the interface.
