Hi all, I'm using udev/sysfs to detect when a new phy becomes available, and then immediately open it. When I insmod the wifi card module driver, it works most of the times, but sometimes I get this: ieee80211 phy0: Failed to initialize rate control algorithm I noticed that ieee80211_register_hw() first registers the PHY, which makes it available to userspace, then does subsequent config calls on it. ieee80211_init_rate_ctrl_alg then fails since local->open_count is not zero. This is easy to reproduce by adding an msleep() after wiphy_register() What lock should I use to surround the whole registration process ? -- Maxime -- 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
