From b8730b403aee94db4631bfefb546a6ce8c287dc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:49:58 +0100 Subject: iwlwifi: dvm: fix the passive-no-RX workaround Alex Romosan reported that since the mac80211 changes in "mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status" and the subsequent fixes in "mac80211: fix auth/assoc timeout handling" (commits 1672c0e31917 and 89afe614c0c) there's sometimes an issue connecting to a 5 GHz network with the iwlwifi DVM driver. The reason appears to be that since these commits any bad TX status makes mac80211 immediately try again, causing all of the authentication attempts to be quickly rejected by the firmware as it hasn't heard a beacon yet. Before, it would wait for the timeout regardless of status. To fix this, invoke the passive-no-RX workaround when not associated yet as well. This will cause the first frame to get lost, but then the driver will stop the queues and the second attempt will only be transmitted after hearing a beacon, thus delaying it appropriately to not make the firmware reject it again.
