The FW does not allocate quota air time for the binding of a station MAC before iwlmvm indicates that it is associated. Currently iwlmvm indicates that the MAC is associated only after hearing a beacon from the AP. In case a deauthentication frame is sent before the MAC is associated, the frame might not be sent as the corresponding binding is not scheduled. To handle such cases, set IEEE80211_HW_DEAUTH_NEED_MGD_TX_PREP in the HW flags, requesting mac80211 to call the mgd_prepare_tx() callback before transmitting a deauthentication frame if associated but no beacon was heard from the AP. In addition, do not warn in iwl_mvm_mac_mgd_prepare_tx() when already associated as now the callback can be called also when associated.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
