We would get an oops on RX on -ENOMEM by passing NULL to the hardware on ath_rx_buf_link(). The oops would look something like this: ath_rx_tasklet+0x515/0x53b ath9k_tasklet+0x48 tasklet_action __do_softirq irq_exit do_IRQ RIP: ath_rx_buf_link+0x3a We correct this by handling the requeue directly on the ath_rx_tasklet() and trying to allocate an skb *prior* to sending up the last hardware processed skb. If we run out of memory this gauranteees we have skbs to work with while it simply drops new received frames. Signed-off-by:

We "optimize" away the get_state() hook call on rfkill_toggle_radio when doing a forced state change. This means the resume path is not calling get_state() as it should. Call it manually on the resume handler, as we don't want to mess with the EPO path by removing the optimization. This has the added benefit of making it explicit that rfkill->state could have been modified before we hit the rfkill_toggle_radio() call in the class resume handler. Signed-off-by:

The rfkill class API requires that the driver connected to a class call rfkill_force_state() on resume to update the real state of the rfkill controller, OR that it provides a get_state() hook. This means there is potentially a hidden call in the resume code flow that changes rfkill->state (i.e. rfkill_force_state()), so the previous state of the transmitter was being lost. The simplest and most future-proof way to fix this is to explicitly store the pre-sleep state on the rfkill structure, and restore from that on resume. Signed-off-by:

When a disassoc packet is received from the AP with a reason code of 'leaving the BSS', mac80211 should go into DISABLED state just as it would do if the AP suddenly went away for some reason, as that is what will happen shortly after the AP leaves anyway. Signed-off-by:

Patch fixes the ad-hoc mode by 1) Removing redundant clear_stations_table which prevented generation of beacons. 2) Setting assoc_id to 1. It was never set so preventing tx flow in iwl3945_tx_skb. Signed-off-by:

mac80211's ieee80211_register_hw() is often called within the probe path so it cannot assume the device's driver structure has been attached yet so to create a workqueue instead of using driver->name use the wiphy's phy%d name. The name doesn't really matter anyway. This should fix sporadic oopses found when we race to beat the driver pointer setting. Not even sure how this was working properly. http://www.kerneloops.org/search.php?search=ieee80211_register_hwSigned-off-by:
