Right. > If you'd accept a patch with a new driver flag check (which I can enable for > ath10k and ath9k), then I'll respin it thus. My order of preference would be something like 1. track per vif whether it was re-added, and skip before it is If that works, I can certainly get behind it for semantic reasons (the vif isn't yet active again), although even there I'm not sure how iwlwifi would behave - but that's something I'd look into and perhaps even consider a bug there since it shouldn't know about that interface yet. 2. If for some reason that doesn't work, add an iteration flag that controls this, rather than a per-device config? johannes
