Subject: [PATCH 3/5] ath9k_htc: Fix module unloading issue
Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2010 15:28:15 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19387.1463.310224.890658@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)

The maximum number of packets in a single buffer in
stream mode is 10. The driver currently uses 8 - which
caused stack corruption, in the absence of any kind
of OOB checking.

Fixing this to the correct value of 10 fixes the module
unload issue.
