From 7d64b7cc1fc33bab24567903a93f699d11649c0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:26:51 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: allow vendor specific cipher suites cfg80211 currently rejects all cipher suites it doesn't know about for key length checking purposes. This can lead to inconsistencies when a driver advertises an algorithm that cfg80211 doesn't know about. Remove this rejection so drivers can specify any algorithm they like.
