This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled iwlegacy: fix IBSS cleanup to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From 04d2cabd11b5c25acced1fda28bcb3eaed3e6fb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2013 11:45:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] iwlegacy: fix IBSS cleanup commit fa4cffcba9e13798ed7c6b8526b91b1631ecb53e upstream. We do not correctly change interface type when switching from IBSS mode to STA mode, that results in microcode errors.
