From 60337ed86306c1f75d2f6744c6ff53dfd39eacc0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Janusz Dziedzic Date: Fri, 27 Nov 2015 09:37:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: queue null frames in case of MCC While mac80211 using null frames when connection polling, we should queue this frames while NOA could be there, and AP, P2P_GO could be not present. Without this patch, with no traffic we often saw disconnections while we try to send nullfunc when AP/GO wasn't present.
