Subject: [PATCH] staging: vt6656: [BUG] iwctl_siwencodeext return if device not open
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:30:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1379964642.4007.10.camel@canaries64-MCP7A> (raw)
Don't allow entry to iwctl_siwencodeext if device not open.
This fixes a race condition where wpa supplicant/network manager
enters the function when the device is already closed.
