[PATCH 2/5] ath9k: Clear key cache explicitly on disabling hardware

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

 



Now that ath/key.c may not be explicitly clearing keys from the key
cache, clear all key cache entries when disabling hardware to make sure
no keys are left behind beyond this point.
