[PATCH v2 3/8] mwifiex: fix failed to reconnect after interface disabled/enabled

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

 



Recent patch "mwifiex: fix NULL pointer" skips extended scan event
handling when suspend is in progress. It created a problem for scan
after interface disabled/enabled case.

This patch solves the problem by checking netif_running() status.
