From e92109be7a6a04808c3ed586475ba1e5ea56ecbd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stanislaw Gruszka Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 11:42:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] iwlegacy: fix BSSID setting Current commit 0775f9f90cdaf40fbf69b3192b3dddb2b3436f45 "mac80211: remove spurious BSSID change flag" exposed bug on iwlegacy, that we do not set BSSID address correctly and then device was not able to receive frames after successful associate. On the way fix scan canceling comment. Apparently ->post_associate() do cancel scan itself, but scan cancel on BSS_CHANGED_BSSID is needed. I'm not sure why, but when I removed it, I had frequent auth failures: wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 1/3) wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 2/3) wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 3/3) wlan4: authentication with 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe timed out Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: John W.
