Update last_ack status for all except station probing frames (i.e null data). Otherwise the station inactivity duration is cleared whenever AP is checking presence of idle stations by sending null data frame for every inactive threshold (ap_max_inactivity). Though the station is idle for longer period, the inactive time in station dump is restricted ap_max_inactivity threshold. Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
To clarify: wouldn't it break hostapd's "inactivity timeot kick-out" logic in hostapd? As hostapd generates NULL frames to idle stations to reset their inactivity time, otherwise it will disassociate a station, after an ap_max_inactivity period.
