Subject: [PATCH] rt2x00: Fix regression for rt2500pci
Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2010 19:32:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201007241932.27268.IvDoorn@gmail.com> (raw)

Since commit:
     commit f1aa4c541e98afa8b770a75ccaa8504d0bff44a7
     Author: Ivo van Doorn <ivdoorn@gmail.com>
     Date:   Tue Jun 29 21:38:55 2010 +0200

     rt2x00: Write the BSSID to register when interface is added

mananged mode in rt2500pci was broken, due to intf->bssid containing
random data rather then the expected 00:00:00:00:00:00

This is corrected by sending the BSSID to rt2x00lib_config_intf
only in AP mode where the bssid is set to a valid value.
