I had a look at the paper, and the original poster seems to have exaggerated the paper's claims. They do indeed do the authentication and association request before getting responses. For everything else, they wait to get the response for the previous stage. The main difference is that they greatly reduce the timeouts before retrying at each stage. The paper is also limited to non-encrypted networks. -- 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
