But before the first interrupt is raised, mac80211 will probably not have send any beacons to the device yet, which results in a NULL pointer error when the skb is being freed. Note that the "raise beacondone interrupts without a beacon" is also a bug, and will be addressed later. The more important bug however is preventing the NULL pointer failt itself, since there might be other conditions that could trigger it as well. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn Signed-off-by: John W.
