From 758f555f5e69bb44fc85edb90b3d15e68a29bc0c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Meenakshi Venkataraman Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2012 12:04:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: enable receiving beacons when not associated If the firmware implements beacon filtering, beacons are filtered when not associated. This causes association failures on channels marked passive. Enabling this flag indicates to the firmware to allow the beacons to pass through when not associated only.
