Would you happen to have a debug log with timestamps showing such a case where this change helps? It is somewhat surprising if it can take 900 ms for the kernel to deliver association event after it has delivered an EAPOL frame from that association. This optimization handling for pending EAPOL frame is really there only to work around the possibility of those kernel event getting reordered. In addition, it would be interesting know how lack of this workaround would result in disconnection. I would expect the AP/Authenticator to try again if it does not receive a response. If this workaround is neede to avoid a disconnection (i.e., to do something else than just speed up the connection a bit by avoiding retry), it would seem to indicate that something else is broken in the network or frame processing.. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
