Subject: mac80211: avoid NULL ptr deref when using WEP
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e4fca007b06165900d0e44e8d5e251376819bf5d;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

mac80211: avoid NULL ptr deref when using WEP

"mac80211: move control.hw_key assignment" changed an if-else into two
separate if statments, but the if-else is needed to prevent
dereferencing a null info->control.hw_key.  This fixes avoids a lock-up
during association on my machine when using WEP.
