Subject: brcmfmac: Workaround in change vif for wpa_supplicant support.
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=178e9ef9b6c619b1b3de354f21692a0ad1071116;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

brcmfmac: Workaround in change vif for wpa_supplicant support.

Different wpa_supplicants have different behavior and expectations
regarding the change_virtual_intf behavior. This patch implements
a workaround for the different versions and possible brcmfmac
configuration.
