Good, thanks. So I'll use this as the commit message: "We wrongly use wcid_mask instead of vif_mask. This creates problems when the interface is removed more than 8 times, for example with iw: iw dev <devname> interface add <name> type <type> iw dev <name> del This caused 'ifconfig up' to fail with error: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No space left on device" Does that look good? -- Kalle Valo
