From a23415fd7ed4bfa8e203ecf141d43da7180193af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2012 10:33:42 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: remove incompatible IBSS interface check in change_iface 'cfg80211: fix interface combinations' ensures that if an interface type is not advertised by the driver in any of the interface combinations (via ieee80211_iface_combination) then it shall be treated as a single incompatible interface. if there are more than one interfaces present and changing them to incompatible interface type is not possible. These checks will be properly handled by cfg80211_change_iface -> cfg80211_can_change_interface. this patch is dependent on 'cfg80211: fix interface combinations' Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan Signed-off-by: John W.
