mac80211: trigger ieee80211_sta_work after opening interface
ieee80211_sta_work is disabled while network interface is down. Therefore, if you configure wireless parameters before bringing the interface up, these configurations are not yet effective and association fails. A workaround from userspace is calling a command like 'iwconfig wlan0 ap any' after the interface is brought up. To fix this behaviour, trigger execution of ieee80211_sta_work from ieee80211_open when in STA or IBSS mode. Signed-off-by: Jan Niehusmann <jan@gondor.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
