| Subject: [PATCH] linux 6.3-rc1: Fix broadcom-wl connection to encrypted WiFi | |
| Partial revert of commit 015b8cc5e7c4d7bb671f1984d7b7338c310b185b | |
| "wifi: cfg80211: Fix use after free for wext" | |
| This kernel patch fixes / works around broadcom-wl not being able to connect to | |
| encrypted (e.g. WPA2) networks. I believe this is a regression not specific to | |
| broadcom-wl but rather a more general issue but I don't have any other upstream | |
| supported adapter that could be affected by this. | |

For posterity: this was actually a kernel bug, and it was fixed before the Linux 6.3 release.
