I see - we also had this problem and because of this, we implemented the flush callback that allows to wait until all the queues are empty. So mac80211 will send the deauth, flush and only then it'd remove the VIF. This should allow the frame to make it to the air. Note that API explicitly states that mgd_prepare_tx is before assoc only. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
