Subject: [PATCH] rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Fix error in pointer arithmetic
Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2013 10:18:20 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1381245500-3920-1-git-send-email-Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> (raw)
From: Mark Cave-Ayland <mark.cave-ayland@ilande.co.uk>
An error in calculating the offset in an skb causes the driver to read
essential device info from the wrong locations. The main effect is that
automatic gain calculations are nonsense.
