From 3e5d7649a64e558e4146ddfad4dfcf13fc65dd47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2009 14:37:26 +0200 Subject: cfg80211: let SME control reassociation vs. association Since we don't really know that well in the kernel, let's let the SME control whether it wants to use reassociation or not, by allowing it to give the previous BSSID in the associate() parameters.
