mac80211: reply to AUTH with DEAUTH if sta allocation fails in IBSS
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Whenever a host gets an AUTH frame it first allocates a new
station and then replies with another AUTH frame. However,
if sta allocations fails the host should send a DEAUTH frame
instead to tell the other end that something went wrong.
