It is already fixed in wireless-testing commit 59e7e7078d6c2c6294caf454c6e3695f9d3e46a2 Author: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <casca...@holoscopio.com> Date: Thu Jun 2 17:28:37 2011 -0300 mac80211: call dev_alloc_name before copying name to sdata This partially reverts 1c5cae815d19ffe02bdfda1260949ef2b1806171, because the netdev name is copied into sdata->name, which is used for debugging messages, for example. Otherwise, we get messages like this: wlan%d: authenticated Signed-off-by: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <casca...@holoscopio.com> Cc: Jiri Pirko <jpi...@redhat.com> Cc: David S.
