As far as I can tell, the standard requires you to restart the BSS if you change the DTIM value. I don't think there is explicit requirement for the AP to send you a deauthentication or disassociation frame, though, but I would expect the association to be lost if the AP is compliant with the standard. Anyway, it is not like all APs really follow the standard requirements in all cases, so I would not be to surprised to hear about an AP that changes the DTIM value more dynamically. Anyway, that is just asking for problems due to the way a specific timestamps are defined to be used for the beacons that are followed by buffered multicast/broadcast frames. -- 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
