NACK. That will crash when there really is no interface being passed in.

Well, the original version already dereferences wdev in "if
(wdev->iftype...", so the crash is nothing new if it exists.

It has also been fixed since.

Can someone port this patch up so it includes the fix Johannes is speaking of? Kind of craptastic to have not one but TWO bugs which completely break monitor mode AND channel hopping. If we fix both at once we can have a working driver :-) I have plenty of testers standing by.

Thanks,
Rick
