Hi;

On 2.6.24.1-stable kernel review cycle, i requested inclusions of commit 69f817b654d683265118188bbfb8bc0d8978cce6 (mac80211: Restore rx.fc before every invocation of ieee80211_invoke_rx_handlers) and ece8edddf067d21c4e5abfe3f1205da1588edbb2 (mac80211: hardware scan rework) into -stable one (they solved disable_hw_scan=1 workaround for wpa_secured hidden AP problem). And -stable team said they would rather these comes from either the wireless maintainer or the network maintainer to verify that they are needed, and the backports works properly.

So, if possible, could you please consider sending these to -stable?

Cheers

That one I can agree with, it's a trivial fix.

That one I don't really want to take responsibility for in a stable
cycle.
