Hi I'm playing around with hostapd and observed that deleting the beacon (when hostapd terminates) is not working. Looking at the kernel code I see the reason: In function ieee80211_del_beacon (cfg.c) the old beacon (stored in sdata->u.ap.beacon) is removed. After that ieee80211_if_config_beacon is called. This function (ieee80211_if_config_beacon, main.c) first checks if the driver handles beacon generation itself and therefore needs to be informed. For my card (b43) this is the case. However ieee80211_beacon_get is now called which will fail because the beacon in mac80211 is already removed. This results in a ENOMEM error message for the caller even though the beacon is 'half' removed. I don't know how this problem could be handled properly, therefore I post just the problem description :-) Cheers Mike -- 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
