From 04ac3c0ee2c773c321ec472d892635a20556f34d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2010 21:01:08 +0100 Subject: mac80211: speed up AP probing using nullfunc frames If the nullfunc frame used to probe the AP was not acked, there is no point in waiting for the probe timeout, so advance to the next try (or disconnect) immediately. If we do reach the probe timeout without having received a tx status, the connection is probably really bad and worth disconnecting. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: John W.
