From dcebf45cdc8384be9009b2b9a825054b64742768 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Roskin Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2008 16:39:36 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: allow mode change if IBSS is not allowed Changing mode on an interface is not allowed if IBSS is disabled for the current channel. That restriction should only apply when switching to the ad-hoc mode, as it was prior to "cfg80211: handle SIOCGIWMODE/SIOCSIWMODE". Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin Signed-off-by: John W.
