Subject: wifi-scripts: return the interface-creation result from wdev_add
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=39507969ff4f366d020d7634f2b2da85b5510f29;p=thirdparty%2Fopenwrt.git

wifi-scripts: return the interface-creation result from wdev_add

wdev_add() dropped the wdev_create() result, so every caller's error check
was dead and an nl80211 NEW_INTERFACE failure was silently ignored (hostapd
and wpa_supplicant then proceeded on a missing netdev with stale MLD
bookkeeping). Return the result.
