[PATCH v2 17/20] ath5k: fix NULL pointer in antenna configuration

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

 



If the channel is not set yet and we configure the antennas just store the
setting. It will be activated during the next reset, when the channel is set.
