[PATCH 518/577] staging: vt6655: Fix kernel BUG on driver wpa initialization

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

In http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=597299, the vt6655 driver
generates a kernel BUG on a NULL pointer dereference at NULL. This problem
has been traced to a failure in the wpa_set_wpadev() routine. As the vt6656
driver does not call this routine, the vt6655 code is similarly set to skip
the call.
