From 23dc11dfbd8e78a2450120e9afc83c1d32a8e683 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Rafa=C5=82=20Mi=C5=82ecki?= Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 19:02:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "nl80211: Remove duplicated check in nl80211_setup_ap()" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This reverts commit 647862eb60c324015ea31293cc052558b5185ca4. The second check of device_ap_sme looks like duplicated, but it isn't actually. The trick is nl80211_create_monitor_interface may change that variable value and the second evaluation may give a different result. This definitely isn't a very clear code, but that change caused a regression for drivers that: 1) Don't report NL80211_ATTR_DEVICE_AP_SME 2) Don't support monitor mode 3) Don't support subscribing for PROBE_REQ and/or ACTION frames like brcmfmac. With such drivers hostapd doesn't start anymore.
