[PATCH] wireless: wext: allocate space for NULL-termination for 32byte SSIDs

[Holger Schurig]

> drivers/net/wireless/libertas$ grep lbs_deb_ * | grep ssid

> assoc.c:	lbs_deb_join("requested ssid '%s', ssid length %u\n",

>               length %u\n",

All those lines are gone once my cfg80211 lands.

Do you know any way to make sparse moan about them?


BTW: the libertas firmware sometimes treat an SSID as a 
zero-terminated string. There are some firmware commands that 
accept just an u8[32] bytes for the SSID, but not an ssid_len, 
e.g. in the CMD_802_11_AD_HOC_START command.

You therefore can't connect to the otherwise legitimate SSID of 
TEST\0\0\0.
