[PATCH] fix airo oops-on-removal

From: Bill Nottingham
Date: Thu Jul 08 2004 - 16:33:34 EST


airo creates /proc/driver/aironet/<device name> on device activation.
However, the device can be renamed - then on teardown
it tries to remove the wrong directory. The removal of
/proc/driver/aironet then runs afoul of the BUG_ON() in remove_proc_entry.

This fixes it by keeping a copy of the name of the directory
it created.

(It doesn't actually solve the problem of the stats directory
still being /proc/driver/aironet/eth0 when you rename the device
to, say, 'joe'. But that patch would be a little less trivial.)
