X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=76b817f6c9a901c4d1e7b9e4e4c7b69ce8330353;p=linux-beck.git ath6kl: Unset IFF_LOWER_UP flag on AP mode leave. When disabling tethering after having enabled it, the ath6kl driver does not set the IFF_LOWER_UP flag to 0 (carrier off) on the wlan interface. The upper layers (eg. connman) are not notified of the tethering mode status change. So, tethering can not be activated anymore. This patch adds a netif_carrier_off() call when stopping AP mode to fix the problem.
