Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:16:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100730171513.567445430@clark.site> (raw)

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>

commit 76f273640134f3eb8257179cd5b3bc6ba5fe4a96 upstream.

If AP do not provide us supported rates before assiociation, send
all rates we are supporting instead of empty information element.
