Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211:: fix possible NULL pointer dereference
Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2011 19:26:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1301164015-7978-1-git-send-email-mk@lab.zgora.pl> (raw)

In cfg80211_inform_bss_frame() wiphy is first dereferenced on privsz
initialisation and then it is checked for NULL. This patch fixes that.
