Since a recent merge of the wireless tree to Linus' master, my SDIO connected libertas module fails to connect to our WLAN. 'iwlist scanning' works fine, but wpa_supplicant keeps on spitting out the following message: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS Trying to associate with 00:04:0e:4b:c7:b3 (SSID='caiaq' freq=2437 MHz) Association request to the driver failed

In this case, there is only this on libertas patch in the range you mention:I was wrong with the range I provided. The change came in after -rc5, and I found 57921c31 ("libertas: Read buffer overflow") to be the culprit. Reverting it brings my libertas device back to life. I copied the author. Thanks, Daniel
Ah, I think I made an error, I think tmp is too small and should be
u8 tmp[*rates_size * ARRAY_SIZE(lbs_bg_rates) - 1];
Can we revert and does the patch below work?
Sorry and thanks for testing,
Roel

libertas: Read buffer overflow
Several arrays were read before checking whether the index was within
bounds. ARRAY_SIZE() should be used to determine the size of arrays.
rates->rates has an arraysize of 1, so calling get_common_rates()
with a rates_size of MAX_RATES (14) was causing reads out of bounds.
tmp_size can increment at most to (ARRAY_SIZE(lbs_bg_rates) - 1) *
(*rates_size - 1), so that should be the number of elements of tmp[].
A goto can be eliminated: ret was already set upon its declaration.
