[PATCH 0/2] iwlwifi fixes for 2.6.34

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

 



We include two late fixes hoping to make it into 2.6.34.

"iwlwifi: fix internal scan race" fixes a kernel crash caused by
accessing a NULL pointer. More can be read in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15824

"iwlagn: work around rate scaling reset delay" is already in
wireless-next-2.6 but has since been shown to be an issue in 2.6.34 also.
This fixes spurious firmware restarts that has been documented in
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2173 , but it is the
community report tracked in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15782 that prompted us sending
this fix to wireless-2.6 also.

These patches are also available from wireless-2.6 branch on
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-2.6.git
