Subject: [PATCH] softmac: Fix ESSID problem
Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 10:46:33 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <469CE459.4070300@lwfinger.net> (raw)
From: Jean Tourrilhes <jt@hpl.hp.com>
Victor Porton reported that the SoftMAC layer had random problem when setting the ESSID :
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8686 After investigation, it turned out to be
worse, the SoftMAC layer is left in an inconsistent state. The fix is pretty trivial.
