From 8d8b261a5c11bd043b9b0e0c7e6c49d57611e3ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Sat, 25 Jul 2009 11:58:36 +0200 Subject: mac80211: fix receiving deauth Marcel reported a warning, which quite obviously comes from an oversight in the code handling deauth frames, and which resulted in multiple follow-up warnings due to this missing handling. This patch adds the missing deauth handling (telling cfg80211 about it) and also removes the follow-up warnings since they could happen due to races even if nothing is wrong. I've explained the races in the comments. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Reported-by: Marcel Holtmann Tested-by: Marcel Holtmann Signed-off-by: John W.
