From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I found another crash when deleting lots of virtual stations in a congested environment. I think the problem is that the ieee80211_mlme_notify_scan_completed could call ieee80211_restart_sta_timer for a non-associated interface that was about to be deleted. With the following patch I am unable to reproduce the crash.
