Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mt76: mt7925: restore the legacy BSS after MLO teardown
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 12:36:58 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826043658.2255553-1-aaron.ma@canonical.com> (raw)
Removing the last link of an MLD interface leaves the firmware with the
MLD BSS and DEV entry: the removal loop skips the deflink, and the
hweight16(mvif->valid_links) fallback reads the stale pre-update
valid_links, which is still non-zero. The entry keeps the per-link MAC
address, so every subsequent legacy association fails authentication
until the interface is removed or the module is reloaded.
Remove the deflink BSS and add it back as a legacy BSS on the transition
to zero links.
Fixes: 69acd6d910b0 ("wifi: mt76: mt7925: add mt7925_change_vif_links")
