There are a few problems in the IBSS code: a) it tries to activate interfaces that are down after scanning b) it crashes after scanning on an IBSS iface that isn't active c) since the ssid_len is used as a flag, need to make it visible only after all other settings are set, this helps protect against b) For b), we get a system crash: wlan0: Creating new IBSS network, BSSID ce:f9:88:76:1e:4d BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<...>] ieee80211_sta_find_ibss+0x294/0x37d [mac80211] Call Trace: [<...>] ieee80211_ibss_notify_scan_completed+0x0/0x88 [mac80211] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
