[PATCH] cfg80211/mac80211: avoid state mishmash on deauth

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

 



Avoid situation when we are on associate state in mac80211 and
on disassociate state in cfg80211. This can results on crash
during modules unload (like showed on this thread:
http://marc.info/?t=134373976300001&r=1&w=2) and possibly other
problems.
