If b43 or b43legacy are deauthenticated or disconnected, there is a possibility that a reconnection is tried with the queues stopped in mac80211. To prevent this, start the queues before setting STAT_INITIALIZED. In b43, a similar change has been in place (twice) in the wireless_core_init() routine. Remove the duplicate and add similar code to b43legacy. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Stable <stable@xxxxxxxxxx> [2.6.32] --- John, The b43 patch to wireless_core_start() seems to help a regression between 2.6.31 and 2.6.32. Accordingly, these changes should be applied to 2.6.33 with the automatic backport to 2.6.32.
