I think I prefer doing the modification in iwlagn_mac_add_interface(), and will also add a comment. FWIW, this appears to be a regression introduced in 578977264199de9815ace51ade87cec4894cf010, which went into 3.5. I'm a bit confused why this didn't appear in my tests though, so I'm trying to see if different firmware versions behave differently. johannes -- 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
