Subject: [PATCH] d80211: Reinit keys on mode change
Date: Mon, 01 Jan 2007 21:19:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45996CE9.1010903@web.de> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 854 bytes --]

Switching the interface mode with some encryption keys set and then later
touching any key, triggers an oops because ieee80211_if_reinit fails to
NULL'ify the related pointers after free'ing the key on mode change. Long
explanation, simple fix below.

Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de>

[Sorry, yet another rt2x00 CVS patch...]
