madwifi_process_wpa_ie: Failed to get WPA/RSN IE

[Peter Zhou]

Hi Pavel Roskin.
I debugged again and found the error comes from  set80211priv(struct
madwifi_driver_data *drv, int op, void *data, int len) in driver_madwifi.c
file.

When it run to ioctl(drv->ioctl_sock, op, &iwr) , it return a value of -1,
and then set80211priv() return -1 with the message
ioctl[IEEE80211_IOCTL_SETMLME]: Argument list too long in the end.

I print the value of drv->ioctl_sock and op and it's
drv->ioctl_sock=3,op=35824 in my platform.

Can you give me some ideas to resolve this solution? Thank you very much.


Regards?
Peter Zhou
