<pre wrap="">Hello Jouni
Iam trying to solve problem with random disassociatoin of my WDS
clients (in cause of few minutes not responding from my WDS clients).
I have done for this reason a patch that that give me for this reason
more detailed informations about the "Could not find STA for this TX
error" error message ...
I have found that the deauthentication frame always followed by this
message:
wlan0: STA 00:02:72:00:0f:f8 did not ACK activity poll frame
wlan0: sending disassociation info to STA
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx(last=2189385, jiffies=2219485)
wlan0: sending deauthentication info to STA
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx(last=2189385, jiffies=2219585)
wlan0: Could not find STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx for this TX error
(jiffies=2219585)
(xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is mac of the STA being deauthenticated)
I think it mean that deauth frame is not sent ...
I have took a deep look for this problem, and have found that in the
hostap_ap.c, exactly in the ap_handle_timer function is imediatly
after sending the deauth frame is the sta dealocated by ap_free_sta,
so i think the delivery od the deauth frame must fail ...
I think the solution should be by calling the "ap_free_sta" in next
sheduled of the "ap_handle_timer" event .
PS: I had the same problem before you fix the activity pooling ...
