generic ieee80211_sta_commit()?

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

 



Hello,

after a "ip link set wlan0 down" and than "ip link set wlan0 up" the wifi connection don't come up again. If you do a "iwconfig wlan0 channel 4" beaconing in IBSS doesn't work anymore.

My thought to fix this is to add a generic ieee80211_sta_commit() function which is called after the most config changes (e.g. SSID, BSSID, channel, interface up, ...), so that a clean rejoin is done by the function and the driver hangs not in an undefined state. And I think it's more elegant, because ieee80211_sta_set_bssid() then doesn't need to call ieee80211_sta_set_ssid() anymore to do the rejoin.

What do you think about it? If agree I will implement it after Johannes IBSS changes are applied to avoid confusion.

Regards
Alina
