[gregkh]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    staging: wlan-ng: fix exit return when sme->key_idx >= NUM_WEPKEYS

to my staging git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: wlan-ng: fix exit return when sme->key_idx >= NUM_WEPKEYS

Currently the exit return path when sme->key_idx >= NUM_WEPKEYS is via
label 'exit' and this checks if result is non-zero, however result has
not been initialized and contains garbage.  Fix this by replacing the
goto with a return with the error code.
