I found it. :)
The problem is the following code:
[drivers/net/wireless/ath9k/main.c, ath9k_configure_filter(), line 2399]
if (changed_flags & FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC) {
if (*total_flags & FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC) {
memcpy(sc->curbssid, ath_bcast_mac, ETH_ALEN);
sc->curaid = 0;
ath9k_hw_write_associd(sc);
}
}
On scanning the BSSID is set to the broadcast MAC, but never set back.
Im not sure how to fix it in the cleanest way. I know to less about the handling of multi interface devices. ath9k people can you help please?
Thanks
Alina
