Subject: mac80211: send null packet on active (psm) reconfiguration
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6e1b1b246096fe04467f928973487fa47afaf2cc;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

mac80211: send null packet on active (psm) reconfiguration

The sta might be in psm against the ap (e.g. because
this was the before a hw restart), so we explicitly
send a null packet in order to make sure it'll
sync against the ap (and get out of psm).
