Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Report rejected association to user space SME
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 17:23:54 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090401142354.GA8695@jm.kir.nu> (raw)

When using nl80211 association, we need to send association response
with a failure code to user space SME instead of just internally
trying to send out the same (re)association request again couple of
times. This fixes problems in association process getting stuck on a
failure when user space is not notified in any way that something
actually failed.
