[PATCH usteer v3 2/9] New aggressive roaming - optimizations

Nils Hendrik Rottgardt n.rottgardt at gmail.com
Thu Nov 7 03:23:06 PST 2024


- Take care of correct disassociation_timer corresponding to kick_time
- Added some messages (verbose and debug)
- Corrected assisted roaming as disassociation_imminent has to be false as no kick is planned
