Subject: [PATCH 3.11 1/3] mwifiex: check for bss_role instead of bss_mode for STA operations
Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2013 16:32:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1375140759-29767-1-git-send-email-bzhao@marvell.com> (raw)

From: Avinash Patil <patila@marvell.com>

This patch fixes an issue wherein association would fail on P2P
interfaces. This happened because we are checking priv->mode
against NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION. While this check is correct for
infrastructure stations, it would fail P2P clients for which mode
is NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_CLIENT.

Better check would be bss_role which has only 2 values: STA/AP.
