I don't think we can enable the original behavior of disassociating a station based on use of incorrect key index since it can cause problems with commonly used clients (well, clients that were commonly used four years ago ;-) and there are also potential issues with opening yet another DoS problem. If needed, we could have a MIB counter for the errors updated, but I'm not too concerned about not having this available. -- 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
