Ugh... No. It doesn't need this. It's only used in private_ioctl() for the 0xFF ioctl(). We only check wpa_Result.authenticated. The SndEvt_ToAPI define is never set so we can ignore that code. In other words we can simplify the code to look like: if (copy_from_user(&wpa_Result, pReq->data, sizeof(wpa_Result))) return -EFAULT; if (wpa_Result.authenticated == true) pDevice->fWPA_Authened = true; /* is successful peer */ The ->fWPA_Authened flag is only used in BSSvSecondTxData() to decide if we can call: PSbSendNullPacket(pDevice); Very puzzling... It looks to me like this is left over debug code which should have never been merged, so we can just delete wpa_Result and the custom 0xFF ioctl. At least let's not built it up and add more support functions. On Sat, Sep 27, 2014 at 02:08:33AM +1100, naszar wrote: > From: "Vladimir A.
