Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 13:01:27 -0800 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, stable@...r.kernel.org, Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net>, "John W. Linville" <linville@...driver.com> Subject: [PATCH 3.10 024/104] rtlwifi: rtl8192c: Prevent reconnect attempts if not connected 3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net> commit 8fd77aec1a9d6f4328fc0244f21932114e066df3 upstream. This driver has a watchdog timer that attempts to reconnect when beacon frames are not seen for 6 seconds. This patch disables that reconnect whenever the device has never been connected.
