[RFC PATCH 2/2] mac80211: workaround for resetting the tx power

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

 



From: Assaf Krauss <assaf.krauss@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch is a workaround for the unreliable disassociation
flow. The resetting of the tx power is now performed upon
association/reassociation.
