[<gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    staging: wilc1000: Fix problem with wrong vif index

to my staging git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the staging-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: wilc1000: Fix problem with wrong vif index

The vif->idx value is always 0 for two interfaces.

wl->vif_num = 0;

loop {
     ...

     vif->idx = wl->vif_num;
     ...
     wl->vif_num = i;
      ....
     i++;
     ...
}

At present, vif->idx is assigned the value of wl->vif_num
at the beginning of this block and device is initialized
based on this index value.
In the next iteration, wl->vif_num is still 0 as it is only updated
later but gets assigned to vif->idx in the beginning. This causes problems
later when we try to reference a particular interface and also while
configuring the firmware.

This patch moves the assignment to vif->idx from the beginning
of the block to after wl->vif_num is updated with latest value of i.
