Of course, it will, but the general problem with the -1 return-values (and any other Up assumptions) will remain. As I'd indicated earlier, I have no interest in, or use for, this device. I dug into it because there seemed to be a need within this ML (and I was already looking for an 802.11 project anyway.) If that is the case, I can implement the changes, merge recent Realtek changes, and determine how much nl80211 interface is needed. On the other hand, if changes are on-hold, then I'll focus elsewhere. regards, ali > Index: linux-2.6/drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_ioctl_linux.c > =================================================================== > --- linux-2.6.orig/drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_ioctl_linux.c > +++ linux-2.6/drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_ioctl_linux.c > @@ -990,8 +990,6 @@ static int r8711_wx_set_wap(struct net_d > struct wlan_network *pnetwork = NULL; > enum NDIS_802_11_AUTHENTICATION_MODE authmode; > > - if (padapter->bup == false) > - return -1; > if (check_fwstate(pmlmepriv, _FW_UNDER_SURVEY) == true) > return -1; > if (check_fwstate(pmlmepriv, _FW_UNDER_LINKING) == true) > @@ -1182,8 +1180,6 @@ static int r8711_wx_set_essid(struct net > struct list_head *phead; > u32 len; > > - if (padapter->bup == false) > - return -1; > if (check_fwstate(pmlmepriv, _FW_UNDER_SURVEY)) > return -1; > if (check_fwstate(pmlmepriv, _FW_UNDER_LINKING)) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
