From 7eeff74c29259e9cb7765e3845c0b74057f744da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2012 10:27:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: don't react to beacon loss if HW monitoring If the HW is monitoring connection loss (as advertised by IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR) but not filtering beacons (IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER) then mac80211 will still start the beacon loss timer and if a few beacons are lost, e.g. due to scanning, drop the connection. If the hardware doesn't advertise connection monitoring, then it won't drop the connection right away but probe the AP, which is intended, but due to the logic in the timer when connection monitoring is done it assumes the connection was actually lost. Fix this problem by not starting the timer when the HW does connection monitoring.
