So after that if DUT tries to sent any data frame, as it still thinks that it is connected (network lost also will not trigger because it still Rx beacon) and in that case AP deauthenticates us by Reason:7. May be if we enable tx status report ACK we can pass the inactivity check as some AP's wont reset inactivity timer for probe's. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
