Ivan,

The following patch is suggested by the code-analysis tool cppcheck as the
test is always false. As it will not affect STA usage, I have no way to
test the change. Could you please do so?

Thanks,

Larry

Yes, compiling now, for some reason it doesn't apply cleanyl so I manualy
changed this line.
And what exactly I should test?

Does it affect operation in AP mode? Before this change, the code always wrote 0x66 to the register. Now it seems that it will write 0 if in AP mode. As I have no idea what that register does, I do not know what effect the change will have.
