How many null-data probes on connection loss?

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

 



While testing out some other issue, I noticed that my ath10k system creates
several hundred null-data probes when I abruptly down the AP the station
is connected to.

I guess this is because I use the mac80211 stack to handle the probes, and
the firmware then retries each mac80211 probe many times.

So, in the case where mac80211 is sending a null-data probe, is the assumption
that the driver will try each frame exactly once?

Or is several hundred frames expected?  I'm guessing the former, but before I go
hacking firmware, I thought I would ask...

Thanks,
Ben
