Subject: [ 28/89] iwlegacy: fix IBSS cleanup
3.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@...hat.com>
commit fa4cffcba9e13798ed7c6b8526b91b1631ecb53e upstream.
We do not correctly change interface type when switching from
IBSS mode to STA mode, that results in microcode errors.
Resolves:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886946
