In net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_wx.c, there is a bug that prints extended sign information whenever the byte value exceeds 0x7f. The following patch changes the printk to use a u8 cast to limit the output to 2 digits. This bug was first noticed by Dan Williams [off-list ref]. This patch applies to the current master branch of the Linville tree. Signed-Off-By: Larry Finger <redacted>
