[PATCH] hostap: Fix null pointer dereference in prism2_pccard_card_present()
local->hw_priv was initialized only after the interrupt handler was registered. This could trigger a NULL pointer dereference in prism2_pccard_card_present() that assumed that local->hw_priv is always set (and it should have been). Fix this by setting local->hw_priv before registering the interrupt handler. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jkmaline@cc.hut.fi> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
