Stations disconnected due to no activity in latest wireless-testing.

Stations disconnected due to no activity in latest wireless-testing.

[Ben Greear]

I'm trying the 3.9.0-rc1-wl+, and wlan0 is disconnecting almost immediately
after it connects, supposedly because of inactivity....

Is this a known issue?

Thanks,
Ben

Not here. Which driver or drivers are involved? I have tested with b43 on a 
BCM4312 and rtl8723ae.

ath9k.  Same system works great on our 3.7 kernel, so I don't think it's
a user-space issue, at least (our supplicant and hostapd is not the absolute latest,
but it's not that old either).

Hmm, I had a bunch of 'admin down' virtual stations.  I deleted all of those
and restarted supplicant and hostapd (on the station and AP machine, respectively)
and now it works ok.  Added back another station, and it still works.

So, must be something funky..I'll dig into it more if I hit it
again.

It is not convenient for me to test with ath9k at the moment, but ath9k_htc is 
OK. My distro is openSUSE 12.3-RC2 (released Feb 28), thus the supplicant is 
relatively new (version 1.1). I am using my wireless devices as STA only, thus 
hostapd is not in play.
