From 543d1b92d5500841e70f15e79d197bbffed36561 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:17:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix no-op authorized transitions When userspace attempts to authorize a station that is already authorized, nothing happens as you'd expect. Similarly, when it unauthorizes a station that is associated, nothing happens. However, when it unauthorizes a station that isn't even associated yet, we erroneously try to move the station to associated. This seems to happen occasionally as a result of a race when wpa_supplicant attempts to unauthorize the port in managed mode. Particularly with my new patches to keep stations, it can then move a station into ASSOCIATED state before we have really associated, which is really confusing.
