Description From Salwan Searty 2004-12-08 17:54:35

Steps to reproduce:
-------------------

% . load debug=0x3fff

% iwconfig eth0 rts 0

You'll see:
Error for wireless requrest "Set RTS Threshold" (8B22) :
    SET failed on decide eth0 ; Invalid argument.

Then if you repeat the above step (iwconfig eth0 rts 0), iwconfig hangs and 
doesn't return to the command line. This problem does not occur in version 
1.0.0.

Created an attachment (id=150) [details]
dmesg output after the first "iwconfig eth0 rts 0"

On the second "iwconfig eth0 rts 0" (the one that causes the hang) no new
messages appear in the dmesg output (I run dmesg from another terminal while
iwconfig is hanging.)

------- Comment #2 From James Ketrenos 2004-12-13 10:37:59 -------

Fixed in 1.0.2

Problem doesn't exist on 1.0.5. Marking as verified.
