You found some overrun errors and proposed a patch.
Your solution could output incomplete SSIDs.

I proposed a different patch that would fully output
any binary/non-ascii printable SSID.

I also proposed a different mechanism to avoid the
overrun via printk and also avoid possibly excessive
stack consumption as a means for John Linville to
select 1 of the above options.

I don't care what is done with any of those proposed
patches.

Clear?
