Agree this looks good in channel context angle. Lets say we have two VIF's one AP and one STA and the driver doesn't support channel context's so in that case the config will happen through hw_config but the problem is hw_config is out side the loop so the config will happen with the parameters of the last VIF, which is incorrect. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
