ath10k is a bit weird about flushing frames, and at least my variant of the wave-2
firmware does not always put the deauth frame on the air when deleting stations.
It will likely not be much fun to fix this. I was wondering if the code below
from ieee80211_set_disassoc() could (easily?) be made to wait for a tx-status of the deauth frame
instead of trying to force a flush?
/*
* drop any frame before deauth/disassoc, this can be data or
* management frame. Since we are disconnecting, we should not
* insist sending these frames which can take time and delay
* the disconnection and possible the roaming.
*/
if (tx)
ieee80211_flush_queues(local, sdata, true);
/* deauthenticate/disassociate now */
if (tx || frame_buf)
ieee80211_send_deauth_disassoc(sdata, ifmgd->bssid, stype,
reason, tx, frame_buf);
/* flush out frame - make sure the deauth was actually sent */
if (tx)
ieee80211_flush_queues(local, sdata, false);
Thanks,
Ben
