Subject: Regression since 2.6.31-rc3-wl
Date: Sat, 01 Aug 2009 20:54:43 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A74F1E3.8050502@lwfinger.net> (raw)
When I tested 2.6.31-rc4-wl on my old i386 laptop that uses ifup to
control the network, wireless did not work. The problem was bisected
to the following:
commit f1b3c87b70287ded1338fb03a0a714d185041a96

cfg80211: fix netdev down problem
We shouldn't be looking at the ssid_len for non-IBSS,
and for IBSS we should also return an error on trying
to leave an IBSS while not in or joining an IBSS.
This fixes an issue where we wouldn't disconnect() on
an interface being taken down since there's no SSID
configured this way.
The patch cannot be reverted as net/wireless.ibss.c has changed.
Reverting the first hunk that modifies net/wireless/core.c does not
make the system work.
Larry
