Subject: [PATCH] iwlegacy: fix bugs in change_interface
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 14:05:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1301400359.3834.12.camel@jlt3.sipsolutions.net> (raw)

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

If change_interface gets invoked during a firmware
restart, it may crash; prevent that from happening
by checking if ctx->vif is assigned.

Additionally, in my initial commit I forgot to set
the vif->p2p variable correctly, so fix that too,
even if it doesn't matter since P2P isn't supported.
