If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Larry Finger 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.
