[PATCH] cfg80211: propagate set_wiphy failure to userspace

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

 



If driver failed to setup wiphy params (e.g. rts
threshold, fragmentation treshold) userspace
wasn't properly notified about this. This could
lead to user confusion who would think the command
succeeded even if that wasn't the case.
