[PATCH v3 20/25] Fix kernel NEWLINK processing

Michael Braun michael-dev
Sat Jul 27 09:18:16 PDT 2013


Somehow with Kernel 3.8.11 and others, there are multiple NEWLINK
messages received all containing wlanX.<VLAN>.
Though, when processing the extra NEWLINK messages, the usage counters
get increased too far so the dynamic interfaces get not freed.
