[PATCH 3.5] mac80211: stop polling in disassociation

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

 



From: David Spinadel <david.spinadel@xxxxxxxxx>

Stop connection monitor poll during disassociation.
This clears the polling flags and if a scan was
deferred it will be run.

Without this fix, if a scan was deferred due to
connection monitoring while disassociation happens,
this scan blocks further scan requests until interface
down/up which causes problems connecting to another AP.

Will apply this soon to fix the bug.
