Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: fix beacon slot/buffer leak
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 20:51:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B560D44.4080500@openwrt.org> (raw)
When cleaning up beacon buffers and slots, ath9k currently checks if
sc->ah->opmode is set to a beacon related mode before cleaning up
buffers.
An unfortunate ordering of interface up/down commands can lead to
sc->ah->opmode being set to monitor mode, while there are AP interfaces
present on the same wiphy.
Always cleaning up beacon buffers if present fixes this issue.
