[PATCH] mac80211: fix register_hw error path

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

 



"cfg80211: fix alignment problem in scan request"
introduced a bug into the error path, because now
we allocate the entire scan request and not just
the channel list (the channel list is allocated
together with the scan request) -- on errors we
thus also need to free the entire scan request.
