      cfg80211: fix looping soft lockup in find_ie() · fcc6cb0c
      Bob Copeland authored
      The find_ie() function uses a size_t for the len parameter, and
      directly uses len as a loop variable.  If any received packets
      are malformed, it is possible for the decrease of len to overflow,
      and since the result is unsigned, the loop will not terminate.
      Change it to a signed int so the loop conditional works for
      negative values.
      
      This fixes the following soft lockup:

      wireless: update top level wireless driver entry · 44175272
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      Change it to a menuconfig to give it some documentation, to
      refer users to our wireless wiki for extra resources and
      documentation. It seems our wiki is still obscure to some.
