Fwd: d80211 sysfs

Sorry for the double mail.
Forgot to CC netdev list.

Hi,

Since I didn't want to loose any tested because of the new field in
the net_device structure,
I have used the base_addr field instead and used the following access functions:

This will horribly fail when you send something to master device
(wmaster0) directly. For example, having ipv6 enabled is enough to
produce some funny Oopses.

kernel BUG at fs/sysfs/symlink.c:88!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1]
SMP

d80211 stack is not SMP safe yet. Is this reproducible on non-SMP
non-preemptible kernel without your base_addr patches?

Yes, I have verified this problem on my PC as well and it is running a
non-SMP kernel.
I have also checked the reports from other users and it seems to
affect both SMP as non-SMP users/kernels.
