Subject: [PATCH] mac80211:  Be more careful when changing channels.
Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 22:09:07 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1296194947-12017-1-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com> (raw)

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

If we cannot set the channel type, set the channel back to the
original.

Don't update the driver hardware if nothing actually changed.
