[PATCH v4 24/25] VLAN: do not remove VLAN interfaces due to kernel bug

Michael Braun michael-dev
Sat Jul 27 12:56:27 PDT 2013


Since running this hostapd version, I continously
see kernel warnings. I suspect them to be due to
interfaces removal now occuring on STA freeing,
which is happen frequently on my test node.

This patch makes interface freeing optional
and deferred by default.
