From f8cdddb8d61d16a156229f0910f7ecfc7a82c003 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Kazior Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2012 10:55:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: check iface combinations only when iface is running Don't validate interface combinations on a stopped interface. Otherwise we might end up being able to create a new interface with a certain type, but won't be able to change an existing interface into that type. This also skips some other functions when interface is stopped and changing interface type.
