I think it's actually okay to be  inside and I would rather prefer tosplit this function; there is already one function calledieee80211_set_disassociated. But since we have to fix dissacosiationanway and we need to investigate it more I would first use this littlefix.ThanksTomas��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{���zW����ܨ}���Ơz�j:+v�����w����ޙ��&�)ߡ�a����z�ޗ���ݢj��w�f
