[PATCH 1/3] Staging: rtl8192e: Do not mess with carrier settings while scanning

[Samuel Ortiz]

Toggling the link carrier is a non sense and is the grossest locking I can
think of. Moreover, it's giving a completely inaccurate status to userspace
who could for example decide to turn the interface down on carrier off
detection.

[PATCH 2/3] Staging: rtl8192e: Do not autoconnect based on probe response

[Samuel Ortiz]

Getting a probe response after sending a probe request to a specific SSID
doesnt mean we're trying to associate with this SSID.
wpa_supplicant should be the only one deciding when to join an SSID, not the
kernel.

[PATCH 3/3] Staging: rtl8192e: Do not send NULL BSSID events when not associated

[Samuel Ortiz]

If we're not associated, we should not send wireless events to let userspace
know that we just left an ESSID, simply because we havent yet joined it.
If we keep on doing that, wpa_supplicant could receive such events while
actually trying to join an ESSID, and thus decide to stop trying. This leads
to a lot of connection failures as this driver seems to be sending GIWAP
events quite a lot.
