From 5ba63533bbf653631faab60f6988506160ec6ba4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2009 17:54:07 +0200 Subject: cfg80211: fix alignment problem in scan request The memory layout for scan requests was rather wrong, we put the scan SSIDs before the channels which could lead to the channel pointers being unaligned in memory. It turns out that using a pointer to the channel array isn't necessary anyway since we can embed a zero-length array into the struct. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
