From 883a649b737cdbe3ede7e50f3f939fd706ed5c4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stanislaw Gruszka Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2012 16:11:27 +0100 Subject: iwlegacy: do not nulify il->vif on reset This il->vif is dereferenced in different part of iwlegacy code, so do not nullify it. This should fix random crashes observed in companion with microcode errors i.e. crash in il3945_config_ap(). Additionally this should address also WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/common.c:4656 il_mac_remove_interface at least one of the possible reasons of that warning.

On the way fix scan canceling comment. Apparently ->post_associate() do cancel scan itself, but scan cancel on BSS_CHANGED_BSSID is needed. I'm not sure why, but when I removed it, I had frequent auth failures: wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 1/3) wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 2/3) wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 3/3) wlan4: authentication with 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe timed out Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: John W.
