Return NULL from r8712_find_network() if no matched wlan_network was found. Code with a bug: while (plist != phead) { pnetwork = container_of(plist, struct wlan_network, list); plist = plist->next; if (!memcmp(addr, pnetwork->network.MacAddress, ETH_ALEN)) break; } spin_unlock_irqrestore(&scanned_queue->lock, irqL); return pnetwork; In this code last processed pnetwork returned if list end was reached and no pnetwork matched test condition.
