Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Remove dummy STA on deauth
Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:19:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1326795577-29650-1-git-send-email-pontus.fuchs@gmail.com> (raw)

Under certain conditions a dummy STA entry could be left in the
station list. This causes subsequent connection attempts to fail.

Logs look like this:

authenticate with 00:23:69:aa:dd:7b (try 1)
authenticated
failed to insert Dummy STA entry for the AP (error -17)
deauthenticating from 00:23:69:aa:dd:7b by local choice (reason=2)

Fix this by making sure to remove the dummy STA on deauth.

The problem was introduced by the following commit added in v3.1:
mac80211: fix race condition between assoc_done and first EAP packet

This problem is fixed in the recent patch series from 
Johannes Berg: [PATCH 0/8] more station handling refactoring

If you need a smaller fix this might fit you.
