From 4cf92a3cd9117cb90ad9441172b9f42b67ee9d26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Tourrilhes Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2007 20:37:36 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] softmac: Fix ESSID problem Victor Porton reported that the SoftMAC layer had random problem when setting the ESSID : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8686 After investigation, it turned out to be worse, the SoftMAC layer is left in an inconsistent state. The fix is pretty trivial. Signed-off-by: Jean Tourrilhes Acked-by: Michael Buesch Acked-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: John W.
