It seems that this could be in a place that's already OCB specific, perhaps earlier. Also, it seems you should then actually use the station and assign it to tx->sta, and rename the function to be more indicative of what it's doing now. And code-style wise - you don't need all those parentheses. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
