#1635: WDS nodes are deleted after timeout -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: minor Component: madwifi: driver | Version: trunk Keywords: | Patch_attached: 0 -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- There is a problem with wds nodes which I didn't noticed until now because the last version I've tried was from May 2007. At that time it appears that madwifi-ng-refcount branch was merged which I suspect for the problem I'm writing here. The problem is that wds nodes are removed after some timeout if no packets are transferred between the two AP's. If one of them for example is stopped for some time the other deletes the node. As a result there is no way for them to see each other anymore until the wds vap is recreated again or the driver reloaded. I'm suspecting the ieee80211_timeout_stations() function in madwifi/net80211/ieee80211_node.c for that. There is no check if the node is wds and after the timeout has expired the node is removed.
