The commit de3584bd62d87b4c250129fbc46ca52c80330add - "cfg80211: fix regulatory NULL dereference" prevents the regulatory domain from being changed by user space. A wiphy is only present if the request comes from driver or is set by country IE, thus check only those cases. Signed-off-by: Timo Lindhorst <redacted>Yup but at this point I'd prefer we revert the original patch instead given that the patch also had some other short comings. John is it too late?
No, it isn't too late to revert it. But can we have a new fix soon? John -- John W. Linville Someday the world will need a hero, and you linville@tuxdriver.com might be all we have. Be ready.
