Subject: [PATCH 01/12 NEXT] rtlwifi: rtl8192c: Prevent reconnect attempts if not connected
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:11:25 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1384794696-20314-2-git-send-email-Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1384794696-20314-1-git-send-email-Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>

This driver has a watchdog timer that attempts to reconnect when beacon frames
are not seen for 6 seconds. This patch disables that reconnect whenever the
device has never been connected.
