ath9k: Fix beacon generation on foreign channel
While leaving the oper channel, beacon generation is stopped by mac80211 and beacon slots are marked as inactive. During the scan, ath9k configures beacon timers based on IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL which inturn generates beacon alert even though bslot is inactive. ath9k fails to disable beacon alert while moving to offchannel if none of the beacon slot is active. This is causing beacon transmission on foreign channel. This patch enables swba based on active bslots. This issue was reported with two vifs (AP+STA) and triggered scan in STA vif in unassociated state. Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
