Hi,

As mentioned on
http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/browse_frm/thread/d4a6ce26360613fa/b362792a2debced6?#b362792a2debced6
, poking /sys/module/mac80211/parameters/ieee80211_default_rc_algo and
then trying to read values back is currently causing the kernel to go
funny. E.g.
echo blah > /sys/module/mac80211/parameters/ieee80211_default_rc_algo
cat /sys/module/mac80211/parameters/ieee80211_default_rc_algo

Causes 2.6.29rc5 on my EeePC 900 to lock up.
