[PATCH 082/241] mac80211: don't send null data packet when not associated

From: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <hidden>
Date: 2012-12-13 14:52:32
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: mac80211, the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

3.5.7.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <redacted>

commit 20f544eea03db4b498942558b882d463ce575c3e upstream.

On resume or firmware recovery, mac80211 sends a null
data packet to see if the AP is still around and hasn't
disconnected us. However, it always does this even if
it wasn't even connected before, leading to a warning
in the new channel context code. Fix this by checking
that it's associated.
