Can you please identify such an AP? This sounds like a workaround that makes the non-AP STA (client) behave in a way that does not match with IEEE 802.11 standard and in general, I'm against this change without a very good reason for it. This type of change would, e.g., break IEEE 802.11r fast transition which can only be done using reassociation. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
