[PATCH 1/2] mac80211: accept deauth frames in IBSS mode

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

We can process deauth frames and all, but we drop them very
early in the RX path today - this could never have worked.

Fixes: 2cc59e784b54 ("mac80211: reply to AUTH with DEAUTH if sta allocation fails in IBSS")
