Subject: [PATCH] mac80211_hwsim: Fix initial beacon timer configuration
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 22:30:15 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090926193015.GA27296@jm.kir.nu> (raw)
mac80211_hwsim does not start transmitting Beacon frames when hostapd
is started for the first time and restarting hostapd fixes this. The
issue is caused by the config() handler not being able to start
beacon_timer when beacon interval is not yet known and
bss_info_changed() handler not starting the timer. This can be fixed by
making the bss_info_changed() update the timer.
