I don't think this is a good fix for the problem and would prefer this not getting applied before the real issue is fully understood. This can clear valid IE information in the BSS table and make it more difficult to complete 4-way handshake correctly. The previous condition for the cfg80211_bss_inform() call in ath6kl_add_bss_if_needed() is actually identical to the one that is used in __cfg80211_roamed(). In other words, the issue is most likely from the BSS entry getting timed out and removed between the operations and the proper fix for this is to make sure the entry does not get removed and that should be doable without filling it with bogus information. -- 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
