Hi,
when i try to unload a wlan driver i get the message:
Badness in remove_proc_entry at fs/proc/generic.c:705
This comes from the statment in the driver:
wlan_proc_remove("wlan");
How does one solve the problem.
This wlan driver was in 2.4. i ported it to 2.6. Is there any
difference as far as wlan/networking unregistering is concerned for a
wlan driver.
Any pointers?
Please Advice.
Regards,
sriram

the driver is probably trying to remove a non-empty directory from proc,
which causes data corruption (both in 2.4 and 2.6)... 2.6 warns about it
though, 2.4 probably doesn't.
can you give a pointer to the driver source so that we can help fix it?
