Subject: [PATCH] bcm43xx: Fix array overrun in bcm43xx_geo_init

From: Michael Buesch <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 5 May 2006 17:23:51 +0200

The problem here is that the bcm34xx driver and the ieee80211
stack do not agree on what channels are possible for 802.11a.
The ieee80211 stack only wants channels between 34 and 165, while
the bcm43xx driver accepts anything from 0 to 200. I made the
bcm43xx driver comply with the ieee80211 stack expectations, by
using the proper constants.
