From 345f6b8beb20338a2d792bf5974d01d457abee53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Drake Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 23:16:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] softmac: do shared key auth in workqueue Johann Uhrmann reported a bcm43xx crash and Michael Buesch tracked it down to a problem with the new shared key auth code (recursive calls into the driver) This patch (effectively Michael's patch with a couple of small modifications) solves the problem by sending the authentication challenge response frame from a workqueue entry. I also removed a lone \n from the bcm43xx messages relating to authentication mode - this small change was previously discussed but not patched in.
