I need to really check my patches first :(. In addition, I want you to forget about and not reply to any patches you known I haven't build tested. Nick
>From ad55b627241203a380dd9c708a4feae98446f85f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Krause <xerofoify@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2014 21:12:56 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] staging: Fix NULL check for allocating the skb in r8192E_firmware.c This patch checks in the loop of the function, fw_download_code if a allocated skb is NULL. If the skb is NULL then we first free the allocated skbs in the queue of this function with skb_queue_purge in order to free the allocated skbs. After the freeing of the queue we break out of the do/while of this function as we need to run write_nic_byte in order to activate parts of the network card's driver.
