Subject: [PATCH] linux-next/staging/wlan-ng: block ioctls until card fully initialised
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 12:09:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1235131752.2822.7.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090218022117.GB32325@kroah.com>
Add a mutex to block ioctls before the card is fully initialised and
only allow one ioctl at a time.
This stops udev trying to load the firmware before to card is fully up.
patch ported from wlan-ng-devel
Karl Relton <karllinuxtest.relton@ntlworld.com> spotted that this was
missing from the staging version,

Hi Greg,
patch against linux-next-20090219.
booted & working on my laptop.
sorry about the delay, it's taken me a while to get linux-next running
on my laptop.
regards
Richard
