Impact:
- Kernel freezes/panic when running wireless tests in regression
+ Kernel freezes/panic when running wireless tests in regression
Test case:
- 1. Keep a wrong access-point name in sta.conf file and run the nmcli.
- 2. There will be continuous scan will be happen and do remove the module
using rmmod.sh script.
- 3. When soft scan is happening in redpine driver, before connection. Some
times, we have observed
-a kernel panic. like below
