What whould be in the commit message is that these externs are unnecessary as they are done via #include of drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/include/rtw_mlme_ext.h Also, your patch is not comprehensive. Please remove the unnecessary externs from all uses: drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_wlan_util.c:extern unsigned char RTW_WPA_OUI[]; And that file has the odd and conflicting static unsigned char WPA_TKIP_CIPHER[4] = {0x00, 0x50, 0xf2, 0x02}; [] extern unsigned char WPA_TKIP_CIPHER[4]; Where the extern is also unnecessary. cheers, Joe _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
