Subject: [PATCH 2/3] rtl8187se: Do not mess with carrier settings while scanning
Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2010 00:33:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <74e7fb46ccc6f91492263a69b0f736a10823a763.1270851261.git.sameo@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <88c95ee97a6c78f2175c6f6b2bda7b617540de31.1270851261.git.sameo@linux.intel.com>

Toggling the link carrier is a non sense and is the grossest locking I can
think of. Moreover, it's giving a completely inaccurate status to userspace
who could for example decide to turn the interface down on carrier off
detection.
