the AP doesn't transmit beacons. If the AP requests a CSA (ie, a channel switch) and then enters CAC (channel availability check) for 60 seconds, it doesn't send beacons and it just listens for radar events (and other things which we don't do yet.) Now, ath_newstate() was not resetting the beacon timer config on a transition to the RUN state when in STA mode - it was setting sc_syncbeacon, which simply updates the beacon config from the contents of the next received beacon. This means the STA never generates beacon miss events. If the AP goes into CAC for 60 seconds and recovers, the STA will happily receive the first beacon and reconfigure timers. But if it gets a radar event after that, it'll change channel again, not notify the station that it's changed channel.. and since the station is happily waiting for the first beacon to configure the beacon timer details from, it won't ever generate a beacon miss interrupt and it'll sit there forever (or until the AP appears on that channel once again.) This change forces the last known beacon timer config to be written to hardware on a transition from CSA->RUN in STA mode. This forces bmiss events to occur and the STA will eventually (after a handful of beacon miss events) begin scanning for another access point. |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
