From ace1911b7620af13e83621049e3df9a53d38fd4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Finger Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2017 13:32:38 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8188eu: Fix incorrect response to SIOCGIWESSID [ Upstream commit b77992d2df9e47144354d1b25328b180afa33442 ] When not associated with an AP, wifi device drivers should respond to the SIOCGIWESSID ioctl with a zero-length string for the SSID, which is the behavior expected by dhcpcd. Currently, this driver returns an error code (-1) from the ioctl call, which causes dhcpcd to assume that the device is not a wireless interface and therefore it fails to work correctly with it thereafter. This problem was reported and tested at https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu/issues/234.
