[PATCH] b43/b43legacy: Wake queues in wireless_core_start

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

 



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.

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.
