From f12cb2893069495726c21a4b0178705dacfecfe0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pontus Fuchs Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:00:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: Reset split_start when netlink skb is exhausted When the netlink skb is exhausted split_start is left set. In the subsequent retry, with a larger buffer, the dump is continued from the failing point instead of from the beginning. This was causing my rt28xx based USB dongle to now show up when running "iw list" with an old iw version without split dump support.
