Subject: [PATCH 04/15] wlcore: workaround start_sta problem in wl12xx fw
Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:39:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1353343170-26516-5-git-send-email-eliad@wizery.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1353343170-26516-1-git-send-email-eliad@wizery.com>

for some reason, the wl12xx fw is not able to rx/tx
on the first start_sta cmd.
Workaround it by issuing a dummy start_sta + stop_sta
before starting the sta for the final time.
