The TI folks had a similar patch that broke open networks, not sure what was wrong there. Ultimately, depending on the nl80211 capabilities, the station should in fact be added (as unauthenticated) before even sending the authentication response frame, and then stepping through the stages appropriately. It should also react to errors by sending a negative association response I guess. johannes -- 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
