This patch adds the missing deauth handling (telling cfg80211 about it) and also removes the follow-up warnings since they could happen due to races even if nothing is wrong. I've explained the races in the comments. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Reported-by: Marcel Holtmann Tested-by: Marcel Holtmann Signed-off-by: John W.
