    mac80211: avoid spurious deauth frames/messages · a58ce43f
    Johannes Berg authored
    With WEXT, it happens frequently that the SME
    requests an authentication but then deauthenticates
    right away because some new parameters came along.
    Every time this happens we print a deauth message
    and send a deauth frame, but both of that is rather
    confusing. Avoid it by aborting the authentication
    process silently, and telling cfg80211 about that.
    
    The patch looks larger than it really is:
    __cfg80211_auth_remove() is split out from
    cfg80211_send_auth_timeout(), there's no new code
    except __cfg80211_auth_canceled() (a one-liner) and
    the mac80211 bits (7 new lines of code).
