From f69b9c79c99b607a8d6b1d9e1913861154af8c63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rajkumar Manoharan Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 06:15:26 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: flush to get the tx status of nullfunc frame immediately Sometimes the probe frame (nullfunc) is stuck at the hw queue. so that the mac80211 terminates the connection as it wont see the tx status. Instead of waiting for long period for ack status, lets call flush to get nullfunc status immediately. It also helps to send the nullfunc till max tries reached.
