Hi all, I'm studying the implementations of net80211 and noticed that in all newstate handlers the code begins by running IEEE80211_UNLOCK(ic) and ends with IEEE80211_LOCK(ic). I was not clear on why this was, I would have expected the opposite order. Also, why not just use the softc device-wide mutex over one for ieee80211com. Overall, I do not seem to understand the intent of the unlock and am seeking clarification.
