[PATCH 04/12] iwlwifi: mvm: don't allow CSA if we haven't been fully associated

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

 



From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>

"Fully associated" means that we heard a beacon with the DTIM
information and the firmware is configured to track the beacons.
Since the firmware needs to track the beacons for the CSA, we
can't configure the firmware for CSA before it knows when the
beacons are expected otherwise we'd get ASSERT 301D.
If we are required to start CSA before we told the firmware
when the beacons are expected to arrive, just report a
failure and let mac80211 disconnect.
