From 34e8f08231388f9e16c6f1e2461f53afaf7f1e5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alina Friedrichsen Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2009 00:07:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Don't merge with the same BSSID It was not a good idea to do a TSF reset on strange IBSS merges to the same BSSID. For example it will break the TSF sync of ath9k completely and it is unnecessary as all hardware I have tested do a TSF sync to a higher value automatically and IBSS merges are only done to higher TSF values. It only need a TSF reset to accept a lower value, when the IBSS network is changed manually. Signed-off-by: Alina Friedrichsen Signed-off-by: John W.
