From 60744f62971cfa80cab36ab8c12afeae371fbe8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:46:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iwlagn: remove iw_mode check for beacon Since we have the beacon context now, we no longer need to rely on iw_mode but can check the beacon context interface's type. However, that check must be in the work item instead due to locking constraints (mutex must be held when dereferencing beacon_ctx pointer).
