Thanks! It looks like the patch would be otherwise fine, but I have
couple of comments on it before applying it. It does not seem to take
care of removing and re-adding STA entries in procfs (i.e., one for each
associated STA in Master mode). Another point is the place for
triggering proc remove-add process. Now it is done in prism2_open().
Could this be done earlier, i.e., when the interface is changed, not
when the interface with new name is being set UP?
