[PATCH v2 03/13] ath9k: queue null frames in case of MCC

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

 



While mac80211 using null frames when connection polling,
we should queue this frames while NOA could be there, and
AP, P2P_GO could be not present.

Without this patch, with no traffic we often saw disconnections
while we try to send nullfunc when AP/GO wasn't present.
