[PATCH v3 08/11] mac80211: disable beacon monitor while going offchannel

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

 



The beacon monitor should be disabled when going off channel
to prevent spurious warnings and triggering connection
deterioration work such as sending probe requests. Re-enable
the beacon monitor once we come back to the home channel.

This patch has fixes for stable kernels [2.6.34+].
