Re: [PATCH] cfg80211: fix WARN_ON for re-association to the expired BSS

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

 



So, can you please tell me what type of bugs or what bugs the cfg80211
going to catch? As I see cfg80211 allows re-assoc command and the
driver is able to get a BSS using the function cfg80211_get_bss(). So,
the driver is going to re-associate and the result is a Kernel warning.
At this point driver's internal association is successful though.
