[PATCH] mac80211: call dev_alloc_name before copying name to sdata

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

 



This partially reverts 1c5cae815d19ffe02bdfda1260949ef2b1806171, because
the netdev name is copied into sdata->name, which is used for debugging
messages, for example. Otherwise, we get messages like this:

wlan%d: authenticated
