From 9c87ba6734422034fccb938da1039ed63da1395c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Sun, 28 Feb 2010 12:13:46 +0200 Subject: mac80211: Fix reassociation processing (within ESS roaming) Commit e1dd33f60ced091114e4aacf141e0d03b88d3e13 changed cfg80211 to allow association commands while in associated state to enable support for roaming within an ESS. However, this was not enough to resolve all cases with mac80211 which needs some additional handling of the reassociation case to clear internal state with the BSS that was in use previously. This patch makes ieee80211_mgd_assoc() accept a valid reassociation command and clean the association state with the previous BSS. This fixes roaming between BSSes in an ESS when using wpa_supplicant with -Dnl80211. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.
