Because here in our city networks we have many of the same BSSID (and SSID) with deferent timestamps, this causes problems. I agree that merge part (updating Beacon/ProbeRsp data) can be skipped for same BSSID, but this change seems to break timesync by removing call to local->ops->reset_tsf(). I don't think that that should be removed unconditionally. I would like to know whether that operation is causing any problems in citywide networks and if yes, it might be better to provide a configuration option to allow the timesync for IBSS to be disabled since not doing that could cause problems to power saving in IBSS (not that it is really implemented that widely). In other words, I would be fine if the calls to ieee80211_sta_join_ibss() and ieee80211_ibss_add_sta() are replaced with local->ops->reset_tsf() if BSSIDs are the same when beacon_timestamp>rx_timestamp. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
