Thanks!

I fixed some minor whitespace issues:

ERROR: space required after that ',' (ctx:VxV)

                                  ^

and applied it to rtl8192su branch of my misc.git tree (just to keep it
together with other rtl8192su changes and not forget about this fix):

Greg, here is the final version of the patch:

Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2009 22:34:39 +0300
From: Dan Aloni <dan@aloni.org>
Subject: [PATCH] Staging: prevent rtl8192su from crashing dev_ioctl in SIOCGIWNAME

(adapted from the rtl8187se patch)

ieee80211_wx_get_name() ignores sizeof(wrqu->name) which is IFNAMSIZ (16), and
on certain conditions, the concatenated string will be larger than IFNAMSIZ
including the terminating zero.

    length ("802.11" ++ "b" ++ "/g" ++ " linked" ++ "\x00") == 17

This fix uses strl{cpy,cat} in addition to the reduction of the total
possible length of the output string by a char.
