From 2031b4c2b4904f7448ab9e4bc6b9bf16e32709f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2012 10:33:10 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: Fix a WARNING on suspend/resume with IBSS this patch is dependent on the patch "cfg80211: fix interface combinations" In ath9k currently we have ADHOC interface as a single incompatible interface. when drv_add_interface is called during resume we got to consider number of vifs already present in addition to checking the drivers 'opmode' information about ADHOC. we incorrectly assume an ADHOC interface is already present. Then we may miss some driver specific data for the ADHOC interface after resume. The above mentioned checks can be removed from the driver, as the patch '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. Fixes the following warning on suspend/resume with ibss interface. ath: phy0: Cannot create ADHOC interface when other interfaces already exist.
