"iwlwifi: fix internal scan race" fixes a kernel crash caused by accessing a NULL pointer. More can be read in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15824 "iwlagn: work around rate scaling reset delay" is already in wireless-next-2.6 but has since been shown to be an issue in 2.6.34 also. This fixes spurious firmware restarts that has been documented in http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2173 , but it is the community report tracked in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15782 that prompted us sending this fix to wireless-2.6 also. These patches are also available from wireless-2.6 branch on git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-2.6.git Reinette Chatre (2): iwlwifi: fix internal scan race iwlagn: work around rate scaling reset delay drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-scan.c | 21 +++++++++++++++-- drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-sta.c | 37 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 54 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
