[PATCH] mac80211: Look out for some other AP when disassoc is received.

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

 



When a disassoc packet is received with a reason code of
'AP leaving the BSS', mac80211 should start looking for some
other AP instead of trying to associate with the same AP.
