Subject: mac80211: deauth when interface is marked down
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e327b847e67051ece8d121f9aebeb4d736c36a02;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

mac80211: deauth when interface is marked down

It seems like proper etiquette to let other stations know when we are
going down in either STA or IBSS mode.  This also notifies userland, so
wpa_supplicant doesn't get confused.
