Hmm. It seems mac80211 shouldn't pass such up since it isn't actually connected. But then we just pass them up and rely on cfg80211 to sort it out. Why do we even attempt to remove something from authtry_bsses when receiving a deauth frame? This only makes sense when we sent it ourselves and want to abort the authentication that way I guess? johannes -- 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
