When we go offchannel mac80211 currently leaves alive the connection idle monitor. This should be instead postponed until we come back to our home channel, otherwise by the time we get back to the home channel we could be triggering unecesary probe requests. For APs that do not respond to unicast probe requests (Nexus One is a simple example) this means we essentially get disconnected after the probes fails. This patch has stable fixes for kernels [2.6.35+] Cc: stable@kernel.org Cc: Paul Stewart <pstew@google.com> Cc: Amod Bodas <amod.bodas@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.
