[PATCH 3.9] mac80211: fix idle handling in monitor mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When the driver does not want a monitor mode VIF, no channel context is
allocated for it. This causes ieee80211_recalc_idle to put the hardware
into idle mode if only a monitor mode is active, breaking injection.

Fix this by checking local->monitors in addition to active channel
contexts.
