From 2258ee58baa554609a3cc3996276e4276f537b6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ali MJ Al-Nasrawy Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2018 19:21:39 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] brcmsmac: AP mode: update beacon when TIM changes Beacons are not updated to reflect TIM changes. This is not compliant with power-saving client stations as the beacons do not have valid TIM and can cause the network to stall at random occasions and to have highly variable latencies. Fix it by updating beacon templates on mac80211 set_tim callback.
