cfg80211: allow wext to remove keys that don't exist
Some applications using wireless extensions expect to be able to remove a key that doesn't exist. One example is wpa_supplicant which doesn't actually change behaviour when running into an error while trying to do that, but it prints an error message which users interpret as wpa_supplicant having problems. The safe thing to do is not change the behaviour of wireless extensions any more, so when the driver reports -ENOENT let the wext bridge code return success to userspace. To guarantee this, also document that drivers should return -ENOENT when the key doesn't exist. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
