3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]> commit d70b7616d9080ec9f868fbd31db5fd4341435d61 upstream. Seth reports that some APs, notably the Netgear WNDAP360, send invalid ECSA IEs in probe response frames with the operating class and channel number both set to zero, even when no channel switch is being done. As a result, any scan while connected to such an AP results in the connection being dropped. Fix this by ignoring any channel switch announcment in probe response frames entirely, since we're connected to the AP we will be receiving a beacon (and maybe even an action frame) if a channel switch is done, which is sufficient.
