Subject[PATCH 44/93] iwlegacy: fix IBSS cleanup
Date
3.5.7.5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.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
