For the "right reason code" part, I would prefer to have an option for such external components to provide that reason code with the command to send the BSS Transition Management Request frame instead of expecting them to handle the timeout. For the "avoid a disassociation part", why would the AP send a notification of imminent disassociation if it is not going to disassociate the STA? If I remember correctly, the disassociation is actually required to happen at least for some cases, so it would be good to understand why there would be desire to avoid that. Furthermore, this patch does not actually provide any means for using this proposed functionality since nothing here calls wnm_send_bss_tm_req_disassoc() with disassoc = false. Even if such option were added, it should also be noted that set_disassoc_timer() does two things: removes a cached PMKSA for the STA (to force new association) and starts a timer to disassociate the STA. Is there really need to skip that first part as well? -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
