[patch 05/32] mac80211: decrement ref count to netdev afterlaunching mesh discovery

[Greg KH]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Brian Cavagnolo <brian@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5dc306f3bd1d4cfdf79df39221b3036eab1ddcf3 upstream.

After launching mesh discovery in tx path, reference count was not being
decremented.  This was preventing module unload.
