[PATCH] cfg80211: fix channel check in cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan

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

 



In commit "cfg80211: check radar interface combinations" a regression
was introduced which might lead to NULL dereference if the argument
chan = NULL, which might happen in IBSS/wext case (and probably
others).
