From 34bfc411f63c8b0efb328b7574fc97bc1714cb29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 12 May 2009 19:58:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: respond to beacon loss report only once The driver might keep reporting beacon loss until we disassociate -- catch that and don't respond to any subsequent events until the probe is either successful or we disassociate.
