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

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

 



When setting a monitor interface up or down, the idle state needs to be
recalculated, otherwise the hardware will just stay in its previous idle
state.
