Some drivers (p54, iwlwifi) call ieee80211_stop_queues(). Calling stop_queues() from outside of the TX handler may deadlock. That is a bug in mac80211. I don't think it has been fixed, yet. > 2.

Shouldn't mac80211 be made suspend/resume-aware (AFAIK it is not), so > we can do things like disassociating during suspend and reassociating > when resuming? I'd like something in the spirit of > netif_device_detach()/netif_device_attach(). Comments? I think we should have a API call to mac80211 that suspends the stack (saves the state etc..) and a call the resumes (reassociates, re-handshakes...). But that's probably not that easy to implement, as parts of this does happen in userspace. - 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
