From 1ff79dfa37d36c16d91eeeebb8cc3dcba32c2c16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:05:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: check channel switch validity better Before allowing userspace to initiate a channel switch, check that it's actually connected in some sense. Also use a more appropriate error code for the not connected case.
