[PATCH] nl80211: Don't touch split_start when split dump is not used

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

 



When the netlink skb is exhausted split_start is left set. In the
subsequent retry, with a larger buffer, the dump is continued from the
failing point instead of from the beginning.

This was causing my rt28xx based USB dongle to now show up when
running "iw list" with an old iw version without split dump support.
