commit 95a6ccbb46c70cff376684c752831c014c87029d
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Thu Aug 12 15:38:38 2010 +0200
cfg80211/mac80211: extensible frame processing
introduced a netlink bug that caused parsing errors
in userspace because it forgot to close a nesting,
which would advertise a nesting length of zero to
userspace, which then completely threw off parsing
and led to
Illegal nla->nla_type == 0
being printed by libnl.
