From: Felix Fietkau Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2011 19:01:00 +0000 (+0100) Subject: mac80211: initialize sta->last_rx in sta_info_alloc X-Git-Tag: v2.6.35.12~27 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6e59c823bf33fbbf211fa55198aafaf125fab95f;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git mac80211: initialize sta->last_rx in sta_info_alloc commit 8bc8aecdc5e26cfda12dbd6867af4aa67836da6a upstream. This field is used to determine the inactivity time. When in AP mode, hostapd uses it for kicking out inactive clients after a while. Without this patch, hostapd immediately deauthenticates a new client if it checks the inactivity time before the client sends its first data frame. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: John W.
