Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: retry auth and assoc on error 17
Date: Tue, 15 May 2012 17:21:16 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1337091676-29441-1-git-send-email-eliad@wizery.com> (raw)
In some congested environments APs return
WLAN_STATUS_AP_UNABLE_TO_HANDLE_NEW_STA on auth/assoc
attempt. Instead of failing immediately, retry again
in 200 msec.
