[PATCH 3.12 029/133] rtlwifi: rtl8192c: Prevent reconnect attempts if not connected

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Feb 04 2014 - 17:30:14 EST


3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8fd77aec1a9d6f4328fc0244f21932114e066df3 upstream.

This driver has a watchdog timer that attempts to reconnect when beacon frames
are not seen for 6 seconds. This patch disables that reconnect whenever the
device has never been connected.
