From 6a211bf1fc63891bfbc510d9caa751c4dee4bc37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:19:23 -0700 Subject: mac80211: fix DTIM setting When the DTIM setting is read from beacons, mac80211 will assume it is 1 if the TIM IE is not present or the value is 0. This sounds fine, but the same function processes probe responses as well, which don't have a TIM IE. This leads to overwriting any values previously parsed out of beacon frames. Thus, instead of checking for the presence of the TIM IE when setting the default, simply check whether the DTIM period value is valid already. If the TIM IE is not there then the value cannot be valid (it is initialised to 0) and probe responses received after beacons will not lead to overwriting an already valid value.
