Non-MLO station frames are dropped in Rx path due to the condition check in ieee80211_rx_is_valid_sta_link_id(). In multi-link AP scenario, non-MLO stations try to connect in any of the valid links in the ML AP, where the station valid_links and link_id params are valid in the ieee80211_sta object. But ieee80211_rx_is_valid_sta_link_id() always return false for the non-MLO stations by the assumption taken is valid_links and link_id are not valid in non-MLO stations object (ieee80211_sta), this assumption is wrong. Due to this assumption, non-MLO station frames are dropped which leads to failure in association. Fix it by removing the condition check and allow the link validation check for the non-MLO stations.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
