From f8b25cdad719cddceb9cf0d350065b3e59e74219 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:22:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: allow interface settings changes only when down We currently allow monitor flags changes and mesh ID changes when the interface is up, which can lead to trouble.
