Hi,
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.
John : would you mind pushing that to 2.6.23 ?
Thanks...
Jean
